Welcome to the second half!

This week's topic comes from an article written for the Star-Gazette by a student at Notre Dame High School.  In it, he discusses some of the pros and cons of high-stakes tests in our state such as the beloved Regents Examinations.  Do they provide a needed standard to guage student learning?  Do they discourage students?  Do they cause better teaching or poorer?

Take a look at this editorial written by ND student Mike Losinger and then offer your thoughts.  I will be especially interested in reading them, since this is a topic of conversation amongst your teachers!
