  1. Charlie Pierce on The Bomb That Didn't Go Off: bit.ly/oUWd9n Read it now. You won't be disappointed.
  2. More AYP: Chapel Hill making big improvements with Af-Am students. 9% more pass EOG/EOC tests.
  3. AYP results coming in for NC schools. Pitt Cty explains it all: more students scoring higher, but not one school makes higher AYP goal.
  4. Girls can't do science? American schools are falling behind other countries? Not so fast... nyti.ms/pRMBYT
  5. Going on The State of Things in a few minutes to talk Judge Manning, More At Four and maybe some state budget changes.
  6. Did emphasis on high stakes testing cause all this, in Atlanta? nyti.ms/pKB1ri
  7. NYT blasts media in Atlanta schools' cheating scandal in 2010 nyti.ms/dw3evJ then lauds AJC in 2011 after findings bit.ly/pNxQAl

  15. UNC system cuts now total more than $1 billion over the past 5 years.
  16. So let's recap: NC budget cuts 15% from UNC system, as many as 14,000 public school teachers, and $69 million from comm. colleges. Ouch.
