The kids can still go to school in Clayton. It just means their Diplomas won't be worth the paper they're written on. In reality all those kids will end up getting bussed to other schools putting more of a strain on those institutions and soon they will also crumble. The "No child left behind" act had noble intentions, but will ultimately do more harm than good. It's one of the reasons my wife quit teaching. We need a voucher system and let the schools compete for students.
