to clarify...

...by no means am I saying this program is useless...in fact I feel it's just the opposite.  I just think it's ironic and frustrating that I have to go back to my classroom and be told that even though all my students passed MCAS, not enough scored in the "advanced" and "proficient" range, and my goal for this year should be to increase open response scores from an average of 2.1 to 2.5 ... what?
