Obama, Romney Offer Lessons in Education Reform

In 2009, the average reading score of African-American fourth-graders was 26 points lower than Caucasian fourth-graders.

Simply put, there are more underperforming schools in poor neighborhoods than middle-class areas. Casey Stegall, FoxNews.com, 07/12/2012
