AYP ratios are the statistics he used everywhere. It showed that the state's scores do not meet the standards they are supposed to meet. “The worst-scoring city is Washington DC, with a score of just 13% exceeding the 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 retaining information from students. 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 get no additional benefits while bad teachers almost never get fired because of their positions. There is clear logic that shows that the reason why these schools fail to meet standards is due to multiple reasons discussed and a change needs to be made to ensure this does not happen.
