FCAT scores at historic high.

When are we going to start testing the private schools?

FCAT writing scores for 2011 are at 'historic' highs


Florida students made "impressive" gains on the FCAT writing exam, putting their scores for 2011 at historic highs, the Florida Department of Education announced this morning.

Students in grades 4, 8 and 10 — the ones who take the writing test — penned better essays than ever before, the department said.

The FCAT writing scores are the first results released from the 2011 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.

Scores from the FCAT, which also includes math, reading and science exams, are used to grade public schools, to help determine whether students are promoted or earn diplomas and now, under a new merit-pay law, to gauge teacher quality.

They should from something like this.

'They' are after established teachers regardless of the information.

Obam, Arne - I'm lookin at you.

There is no way students can be doing better under education reformers. It is simply impossible.
