I just don't get all of the wailing and the gnashing of teeth over 2 bloody points out of 800.<br /><br />This was also funny, from the article by E.D. Hirsch that you linked to. (He was an education alarmist before being alarmed about education was cool): "This is very worrisome, because the best single measure of the overall quality of our primary and secondary schools is the average verbal score of 17-year-olds." What crude tools we have for evaluating such a complex and dynamic phenomenon. This may be the "best," but it's still a crap instrument.Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-64328783904384154962011-09-20T08:17:02.593-04:002011-09-20T08:17:02.593-04:00I don't read this blog for the recipes but I l...I don't read this blog for the recipes but I love this one and will try it soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
