7,500 G.M. Workers Accept Latest Buyout
By NICK BUNKLEY
But nearly 14,500 retirement-eligible hourly workers will stay, showing the difficulty G.M. faces in persuading workers to give up their jobs in a recession.
Harlem now has the most charter schools per square mile in the United States, yet demand still exceeds supply. Harlem Success is opening three new schools this summer. About 40% of all eligible children in central Harlem applied for kindergarten at Harlem Success schools. The reason is obvious. Tests taken at the beginning of the 2006-07 school year at Harlem Success showed only 11% of six-year-olds were at their grade level in mathematics. By the end of the year, 86% were. This may have something to do with grouping children by ability rather than by age, and with involving parents, who have to read six books a week to their children.
