The number of students passing exams increased four times over. We became the leader in Early Childhood education, and we still are today. Among minority children, florida saw the greatest gains anywhere in the United States, and what is that show . It shows that every child can learn, no matter the race, background, where they live. I know this can be done. The debate is changing. Old orthodoxies are falling away, but we can never forget that longterm reform does not help a child right now. Years of learning are years that are lost forever. I think of the kids in washington dc who receive opportunity scholarships, a couple of thousand boys and girls, almost all black, have been given a chance to leave the worst schools and go to the best.
