School test scores

School test scores came out today, and the results were mainly good. Scores were up, and fewer schools were on the underperforming list. The latter result, though, is partially due to some rule changes.

I don't think I know enough about the tests to be able to comment further at this point. I heard some talk on MPR about the relative difficulties of the tests, especially in science, and I believe that tests need to be harder, not easier.

Of course, NCLB is still a horrible piece of legislation.
