Some education officials told the board that the question that asked pupils to "write about a time you had a great day at school" may have prompted them to write a list activities rather than an essay.

LOL!! Let's have some names please!! I can think of at least two county superintendents that pushed to have these thrown out. I think it's important to know 'which' of our state's education officials believed this. Hey, I wonder if Rufus was there. Or maybe Jim Hunt. I bet anything this will be used in Mike Easley's campaign to push for the lottery.

"You see parents, instead of spending in a fiscally sound way, what we REALLY need is a form of statewide gambling. All the money that comes in that doesn't go into one of my or my cohorts' slush funds (properly hidden in some state 'agency') will actually be spent on education. Mind you I'm in it for the money so it won't be a lot, but just look at this report!!"--Gov Mike 'Tax 'em more' Easley

Is there anything missing in this part of the sentence? Did the writer of this article attend public school here in NC? Or is the lack of education just seeping out to other states by now?
