Change
Alea jacta est”, the die has been cast. It looks like the health care bill is dead in the water. Perhaps our government can now look at what’s going on in our country. With all the promise of “Change We Can Believe In”, the administration has gone the route of past administrations, offering deals to banks, insurance companies and unions. |

EDUCATION NEWS
What percentage of Georgia's fourth-graders are good readers? It seems to depend on whom you ask. The state will tell you that 85 percent met or exceeded the proficiency benchmark on its 2007 test. On the other hand, that year only 28 percent scored high enough to be considered proficient on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, an exam administered by the U.S. Department of Education that is usually regarded as the gold standard. The big difference results from where the two tests set their proficiency bars. Georgia sets its bar pretty low -- so low that barely literate students can score high enough to be deemed proficient. On the NAEP, a student labeled "proficient" by Georgia could fail to score above "basic." (Los Angeles TImes 01.18.10)
