Cause For Celebration


I won the pool. Students only need 30 out of 89 points to pass the new Integrated Algebra regents.

Good to know the state has raised standards.

Congratulations! I gloated at work today, stating, "my buddy PO'd said that the passing score was going to be very very low". The math teacher was pissed because she is a legend in her own mind.

Also, congratulations on another year over. Let's meet for a drink one night soon.

You also win my respect for your ability to call the shots...... I think 17/15 had a good idea,speaking of shots.

34%?!? (Yea, I had to get a calculator to do that because rounding 89 up to 90 and then realizing 30 was 1/3 of 90 is something that I obviously wouldn't need to know to pass the regents.) That's ridiculous.

WOW. The passing level for most TAKS test (elementary level not sure about secondary) is usually around 67%. The 5th grade science test is an exception the passing level is usually around 80%.
