How is your Minnesota school doing?
I just thought I would post this. The school system in Clarissa & Eagle Bend did meet the No Child Left Behind criteria for 2008. (Click the StarTribune link above)
Other school systems in the area including: Browerville, Long Prairie, and Bertha-Hewitt apparently missed the cut this year and all received grades that did not pass.
I am still out on an opinion regarding No Child Left Behind. I do think it is important to test and see how we are doing. Obviously a quality education for our children is important. However, I have spoken with some teachers who think there are better ways to go about doing this. If there are teachers out there who could post comments with their thoughts on No Child Left Behind it would be appreciated.
Congrats to Eagle Valley teachers and staff on being the only school to pass, and for the great education they are giving students.
