Pathetic . . . Just Pathetic

This report just in from the Associated Press


A new national assessment finds that less than a quarter of students are proficient in U.S. history.

The 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress tested students on topics such as the American Revolution, Civil War and the contemporary U.S.

Just 20 percent of fourth-grade students, 17 percent of eighth-graders and 12 percent of high school seniors scored at a level showing solid academic performance.
