    Quite the accomplishment Ron... 8th worst SAT scoring state in the country.

    It is a hard compare though since only about 10 states have over 80% of their students take the SAT and among them Florida is 6th out of 10. Most did not drop that much but Connecticut which is the best of the high percent test takers did drop 17 points also. Still Conn is about 40 points better than FL

    This is not entirely true. There are public and private charters. Charter schools do not always operate under the same requirements that public schools do. IOW - less accountability

    In 2009 she filled out paperwork to serve on the board of education in Connecticut. On it she indicated she had a bachelor's degree in education. Good qualification for the job, right? She got the gig, apparently benefiting from very little investigation. Had they done more, they would have learned her degree was in French, not education. Oops.

    Serious question: How many of you have forgotten what degree(s) you hold?

    arrrrrgh! idiots, idiots everywhere!! That is not the medical, legal or dictionary def of insanity nor has it every been. That definition would make every marksman, gymnast, musician, etc. insane.

    edit. according to AI, a fictional character in Rita Mae Brown's novel Sudden Death is the origin of this WAR ON PERSEVERANCE.

    The committee members should be asking her "why are you here?" and "do you understand what your job is?"
    If this WWE doofus cannot answer basic questions, then send a subordinate who can.
    The taxpaying public has a right to answers from these people.

    Technically, that Senator asked "What was we ranked?" So a proud moment all around.
