It's a nice package built around a good story. It sounds like the school was cooperative, too, which is always handy. I did something like this at my last paper, but without the multimedia, and it just isn't the same. I liked that it got past the rather tired debate on the law itself. Focusing on the brother and sister in the first slide show worked well, and having Spanish in the audio was a good call. One thing (I think) I wanted: Numbers. I know, the point of the story was to get away from numbers, but NCLB has made education something of a quantitative business. Just a quick chart showing how many students are EL and such would have helped. And one random cool thing: Midway through the first slide show, the teacher says she tells adults to imagine they're in China and the difficulties entailed. "They're in culture shock." Exactly.
