2017年6月英语四级阅读理解100篇精析汇总
A new analysis of federal money that public schools receive for low-income
students shows that a record number of the nation’s school districts will
receive less in the coming academic year than they did for theone just
ended.
For the 2005-2006 school year, spending under the Department of Education’s
Title I program, which helps low-achieving children in high-poverty areas, is
increasing by 3.2 percent, to $12.6 billion. But because of population shifts,
growing numbers of poor children, newer census data and complex formulas that
determine how the money is divided, more than two-thirds of the districts, or
8,843, will not receive as much financing as before.
The analysis, based on data from the department, was made by the Center on
Education Policy, a group advocating for public schools. A similar study by the
group last year showed that 55 percent of the schools would receive less money
than they did in the previous year.
“It's an alarming number,” said Tom Fagan, a former department official who
conducted the analysis. “It’s clear that the amount of overall increase is not
keeping pace with the number of poor kids.”
Susan Aspey, a department spokeswoman, defended the spending levels for
Title I，saying, “President Bush and Congress have invested record amounts of
funding to help the nation’s neediest students.”
But Mr. Fagan said the increasing number of districts that are losing money
is making it harder for the schools to meet the goals of the federal No Child
Left Behind Act, the Bush administration's signature education program, which
measures progress through annual tests in math, reading and science. That is
giving critics of the program more grounds to accuse the administration of not
sufficiently financing the program while demanding greater results.
Title I provides the largest component of financing for No Child Left
Behind.
“The federal government is concentrating more money in fewer districts,"
said John F. Jennings, the president and chief executive of the Center on
Education Policy. “It means there is lots of anger and lots of tension. They're
asking us to do more and more with less and less.”
