Having taught in other parts of the South, I have long wondered if there was a spin on test scores. Frankly, our students seem to be no better prepared than those in Mississippi or South Carolina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-6777419242216381632011-02-26T18:52:17.988-05:002011-02-26T18:52:17.988-05:00RE: EXPLORE and PLAN Results Show Improvement:

They stayed flat in reading and went down in English.<br /><br />On PLAN, scores went down in English, and stayed flat in science. They only increased in math and reading. The PLAN Composite also stayed flat, which makes the headline wrong, as well.<br /><br />KDE was spinning the results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
