Not yet, anyway, as we’re sure at some point school districts will be reimbursing hundreds of thousands of dollars in mileage and other expenses for teachers to visit this “waterfront, resort-like center” designed to help them soothe their worst-in-the-nation blues and find their inner (failing) children.

I know from experience there are 50 different ways to measure the same performance among states. So I ask, do we do it differently than KY, GA, NC, SD etc? I know we measure our drop-outs by 9th graders who finish the 12th grade on time. Are there other ways to measure this statistic? I'm just asking.
