Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper than an AP blurb - Googling is certainly below a fifth-grade level these days, no?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10525542680315157562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-52048070849614005292008-04-02T20:59:00.000-05:002008-04-02T20:59:00.000-05:00You obviously read a different post than I wrote. I didn't say anything about the rate being something to be proud of. But it's irresponsible reporting for this wire story to give these rates that aren't based in reality.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396326144115748778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-36235338010671152032008-04-02T20:30:00.000-05:002008-04-02T20:30:00.000-05:00David let me guess you have something to do with the system.

Most likely it's "graduates at end of year 4" divided by "9th graders starting year one". That is overly simplistic and doesn't tell you anything useful. <BR/><BR/>But the media, and apparently AI, like it because it makes for an attention-grabbing headline and only requires a fifth-grade comprehension level to understand.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396326144115748778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-14837572419297388302008-04-02T07:29:00.000-05:002008-04-02T07:29:00.000-05:00Ain't we some proud!Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.com
