Students' Regents Test Scores Bulge at 65
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...googlenews_wsj
A Wall Street Journal analysis of high-school Regents test scores shows that a disproportionate percentage of New York City students barely got the passing score they needed to receive a diploma in the past two years, while very few received scores just below passing. The New York City graduation rate for 2009 was 59%, up from 46% in 2005, a rate of improvement that far outpaced the rest of the state. The Bloomberg administration has attributed the increase to the new accountability systems that empower principals. Over 45,600 New York City students graduated last year. I mean if we'll just let the teachers fudge the numbers, why more kids graduate!!! It's so simple!!

Educational problems solved!!!

YAY for NY.
