Even though we know that the tests were "lowered" about six years ago, this is still better news than "scores are falling." Is it too early to say, "No Child Left Behind" is working???

Well, since our kids our doing much better in math and Science, maybe they should look into getting IT jobs.

'Lowered' or re-normalized? I believe that there have been two 100 point re-normalizations since I wrote my 1351 in 1966.
A 'standardized' test that is changed isn't a standard.

They started messing with these tests back in the 70's. I lost count of how many times they dumbed them down, cause I just don't care.
Teachers are the bottom of the barrel of college educated people. They are the turkeys who are too stupid to hammer a nail and too stupid to get a real job.
They do keep journalism majors off the barfloor.
