************************ exzerpt ******************************
Md. high school test scores barely improve -- January 3, 2004
Maryland students scored poorly on the new high school competency
examinations again last year...About half of 65,000 students failed
the 2003 algebra and biology tests, Four in 10 failed government,
and six in 10 failed English, including a large majority of *MINORITY*
students...
In Anne Arundel County, MINORITY STUDENTS LOST MORE GROUND THAN WHITE
students...At the county's Southern High School, fewer than 18 percent
of black students passed the algebra assessment - *DROP* of nearly 40
percentage points from 2002.
"But it does point to areas that we have to focus on," said Supt.
Eric J. Smith, who was concerned about the INCREASED FAILURE RATE
AMONG MINORITIES. "We don't have time to waste," said Smith, who added
he is confident that the racial achievement gap will close in
coming years, now that several academic initiatives are in place.
[No more b#llsh#t statement of hopelessness was ever uttered]
