CBS News Investigative Correspondent Armen Keteyian has the story. As your kids know, it's the start of a new school year and the pressure is on to do well. Pressure not just for the students -- but for the teachers. Under the Race to the Top program, the Education Department has already handed out four Billion dollars to states that allow student test scores to be used to judge how well their teachers are doing their jobs. But teachers don't like being graded any more than their students do. CBS News Correspondent Ben Tracy reports in our special series Reading, Writing and Reform. Earlier today, I spoke with former President Bill Clinton about his Clinton Global Initiative. A lot of people in the U.S. don't understand what it is, or how it works. Tonight, you'll hear more about that. You'll also hear what he had to say about why unemployment rates in this country are so high and what may have been different had his wife been President. See you tonight.
