Education Sector Report….

On NCLB is out. They are releasing the 2007 Pangloss Index. The one state they focus the most on and had the biggest jump was Alabama. Jumping up to 5th place from 22nd in one year.

The report gets into detail on how the Birmingham Alabama school districts cheated the students in the school district by using a high subgroup size to get less students counted and getting the US Department of Education to agree giving schools half credit for every student who missed level III but achieved level II just to help with AYP goals. With almost every student at level II it screwed up real AYP progress big time.
