[Author Jay] Mathews said in an e-mail that he purposely chose not to include those schools because he wanted to develop a ranking "to honor schools that have done the best job in getting average students into college-level courses. It does not work with schools that have no, or almost no, average students."It's a hard pill to swallow when your education choice keeps you on the outside, isn't it?
Welcome. You'll find comments and information here about education in Tennessee with a focus on Nashville as well other issues as I keep an eye on legislation and news. You'll quickly realize I'm a conservative Christian who isn't the quiet submissive type and doesn't mind rankling, if necessary, to get the job done.
