California passes major school-reform package
Failure of schools to meet arbitrary academic criteria leads to schools being labeled as “failing schools”.

How about actually investing in those communities and schools that are “failing”, since they are precisely the ones who need it. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-01-06-California-education_N.htm
