Domestic (USA) 82 Percent of US Schools May Be Labeled 'Failing'
Education Secretary Arne Duncan says an estimated 82 percent of U.S. schools could be labeled as "failing" under the nation's No Child Left Behind Act this year.
Under the Education Department's calculation released Wednesday, the number of schools not meeting targets will skyrocket from 37 to 82 percent in 2011. The schools will face sanctions ranging from offering tutoring to closing their doors.
