It will also allow a teacher’s hard work to be showcased more accurately in state reporting.
North Carolina and Tennessee were the only two states selected to take part in the program.

How about those poor kids who are completely through the system within the next eight years? Will they end up being Children Left Behind because they were too dumb to wait and be born a little later? |
