AYP reports are the statistics he used throughout. This showed that states' scores are not meeting the standards they are supposed to meet. “The city with the worst score is Washington DC, with a score of only 13% passing AYP. States like New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Vermont also have the lowest scores” (Waiting for Superman). The scores are logical proof that the concepts schools teach are not effective in making students retain information. Just as successful teachers can save children by helping them make good decisions, bad teachers can contribute to and influence bad choices. Both types of teachers receive the same treatment; good teachers receive no additional benefits while bad teachers are almost never fired due to their tenure. There is clear logic showing that the reason these schools are not meeting standards is due to multiple reasons cited and that change needs to be made to ensure this does not happen.
