Subject: HIGH SCHOOLERS LACKING IN SCIENCE & MATH COURSES
American students are not taking enough science and math courses in
preparation for college or the work force, say education officials
responding to yesterday's release of a federal study of high school
transcripts. "What is scary to me is that more than 50 percent of our
students are not taking any science in the 12th grade," said Sharif
Shakrani, deputy executive director of the National Assessment Governing
Board, reports George Archibald. The report shows, overall, that high
school graduates took some tougher courses and raised their overall grade
point averages during the past decade, but scores on standardized tests
that measure achievement have stayed relatively flat since 1995.

INTEGRATE THE ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY INTO THE CLASSROOM
Do you need resources that will help your teachers use art and
technology using, dance, folktales, geometry, digital photography,
poetry, story telling, video production, writing, cartoons, and more?
