Minority and low-income parents are more likely to see serious problems in their schools, from low expectations to bullying and out-of-date technology and textbooks, than those who are affluent or white, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research Poll. The divisions fall along the familiar fault lines of income, education and race that drive so much of American life. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File)

FILE - In this April 18, 2013, file photo, Burgess-Peterson Elementary School principal Robin Robbins, center, meets with students during an after-school study program in Atlanta, in preparation for state standardized testing, soon to begin. A new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds parents of school-age children view standardized tests as a useful way to track student progress and school quality. Most parents say their own children are given about the right number of standardized tests, according to the AP-NORC poll. And almost three quarters say they favor changes that would make it easier for schools to fire poorly performing teachers. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
