Well, the New York Times is a goldmine today:
"Fearing that thousands of students would fail the new test and be held back a grade, and that hundreds of schools could face penalties under the federal No Child Left Behind law, the board voted to reduce the number of questions that students must answer correctly to pass it, to 20 out of 36, from 24, for third-grade reading." States are redefining "success" in an effort to avoid sanctions under Bush's education bill. Does anyone else think this sounds ridiculous?
