this is a good study. I think there may be some truth to it
2008 — 86 percent passed
2009 — 90 percent passed
This study is a wash. If that's the improvement, it's a bogus premise IMO. A four percent change in one year is statistically meaningless. Any given year there is probably a variance similar to this up or down.
This is just busy work, the education system trying to impress the mommies and daddies that they are doing everything possible for the good of the children.
There has been a complaint for years that boys distract the girls, prevent them from participating, and generally prevent them from getting as good an education. Well, the stats don't exactly impress when push comes to shove.
They have done this in Alabama with similar results. I cannot remember the school or its location. I have two teens, this is a great idea.
