Houston drops NCLB standardized tests

I just got done watching the ABC national news, which by the way, a big thank you to Charles Gibson for his sign off, "I'm Charles Gibson and I hope you had a good day." Thanks Charle... I hope you had a good day too. It's funny, it's like ABC thought, "Hmmm... we just got done telling them about all of the war torn, genocide ridden, paternity testing, you better listen to our recall or your pet will die news.... how can we make them feel better?

I can explain the flipping second fraction thing... its one of those funny math rules for division, you can change any division to multiplication of the reciporcal of the second number. Its kinda like why 2 negatives make a positive... and all the other 40,000,000,000 rules of math! I like the video math rule of 5 14's make 25. And the Cereal Capital of the World? I thought we had it great here in PA, The Mushroom Capital of the World. Cereal is so way better. Good luck in your quest for resouces, I am too am glued to the web for ideas.

Thanks for the response. Like I said, I have a blog, but am having trouble connecting to the world. Are there any sites or resources you know of that can help teachers connect? Also, I am interested in knowing what has worked in the past at the elementary level that has created meaningful learning. I'll also check out the blog. Look forward to hearing from you.
Also, greetings from the Cereal Capital of the World (Battle Creek)!
