all schools can improve?this takes money.there's just not enough of that to go around.where do we put the blame.some schools offer more than others to students.some teachers are liked more than others.there's good students and not so good students.what are the kids home lifes like,some students parents have more money to let ther kids do more.some families are in poverty.there's many single parent homes.how many kids take drugs?how many kids just plainly hate school?to many problems going on in the world.and mich is just failing.tests don't cut it in many ways.attuide of the kids now a days?we don't have to be # 1.that's just saying we need to spend money on schools and people just can't keep up with taxes.these test just are away for the gov to make people feel bad.kids are being deprived,teachers don't get enough pay,we need more sports in schools,so on and on.money and more money.when it don't get spent by the gov for what it is for.always more.it's never enough.bull.

I'm getting old,but let me see if I understand. A subject is tested at the students grade level irregardless of the student's reading frustration level, because reading frustration level is not tested before the student is placed on a test, which he may not be able to read. Is the MEAP social studies test still headed by a Phd. in mathematics who lectures teachers on being most highly qualified, but can not define pi in such a manner as to explain the 8th grade formula for the area of a circle? Hmm
