Report cards

I encourage everyone to take the headlines and MNPS quotes with a grain of salt. Both the state and MNPS have had months for their staffs to go over the latest report card information and frame the data in the best possible light to meet their needs. The rest of us are now getting our first look at it and are working hard to analyze it and compare it to previous years as well as with current statements from system administrators. Not all the information is being presented in the same format as last year which makes it more difficult to find and compare apples to apples.
