Hi,

Sorry about the formatting of the last one - this one should be easier to read.
Lets see if the headers and footers show up.

Not having a good day!

NAEP FORECASTING
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007328
A recent study by the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) attempts to relate student achievement on the twelfth-grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in math in terms of postsecondary educational outcomes. For example, of the seniors who scored below NAEP's "Basic" level, 46% did not go on to higher education and only 18% went on to receive a bachelor's degree. In contrast, of the seniors who scored at NAEP's "Basic" level, 82% went on to college (53% to a four-year institution) and 50% went on to receive a bachelor's degree. Moreover, of the seniors who scored at NAEP's "Proficient" level, most students (95%) went on to college (84% to a four-year institution) and 79% went on to receive a bachelor's degree. And, of the seniors who scored at NAEP's "Advanced" level, nearly all students (98%) went on to college (94% to a four-year institution) and 91% went on to receive a bachelor's degree. On their own, the study's findings are intuitive. Yet, in light of an earlier NCES study http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007482 which found that most state fourth- and eighth-grade proficiency standards fall at or below NAEP's "Basic" range, they do suggest the need to raise expectations to improve students' odds in higher education. 

2) FORECASTING when they can't read by 3rd. grade.

(NAEP) figures show that the minority differential in reading achievement is a persistent problem that has not changed in the least since 1979 (NAEP1998) Department of Education recent findings indicate that U.S. schools show little "significant difference" in the performance of kids in the early grades since 1992 and literally no differences in the math and reading scores of 17-year-olds over the past 34 years.

SPEAK UP SURVEY
http://www.netdayspeakup.org/
Through December 15, K-12 students, teachers, administrators, and parents from across the nation have the opportunity to share their ideas and opinions on how technology should be used in the education process through Project Tomorrow's fifth annual Speak Up survey. This year's survey features new questions, addressing student interest (and parent support) in math, science, and technology careers; utilizing web 2.0 tools, like MySpace, in school; the merit of 21st century skills, such as learning a new language; the value of emerging technologies, such as video games, in education; and designing the ultimate, 21st century school. Results are shared with participating schools and school districts so they can use the data for planning and community discussion. Results are also used by government agencies and various organizations to inform new programs and polices.

"Media companies can ask Google to automatically delete every unauthorized copy or to slap ads on the clips and promote them." Both the AP and the L.A. Times said neither the new coalition nor YouTube have as yet defined "fair use," though both said fair use of copyrighted material would be allowed.

BARDS ARE THE OFFICIAL STORY TELLERS
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Arts/Story_telling.html
"In ancient days, all the men knew the same hunting songs, and all the women knew the same lullaby. Then, when agriculture was invented, then class society developed and you have priesthood and aristocracy that owned the land, and now they could afford to have, for example, music made for them. And this was the beginning of high art. Talented professionals would spend their whole lives creating the most elegant culture they could -- if you want to use that word. The ordinary person, 99 percent of the population probably, could look at this and admire it from afar, but in their daily life they kept on making their own music, doing their own sewing, constructing their own houses and telling their own stories, usually without the benefit of any writing paper.
