Perhaps, the more Interesting Data point, the one that suggests that issues are no longer ideological, but have become

[cheers and applause] remember back when the f. D. A. Refused to put emergency contraception over the counter and we needed a champion in the United States senate to get it done. Who did we trust .

Understanding of what exactly how persistent it is happening and how often its happening. I hope that answers your question. [inaudible] the power and balance, that one was interesting. Its some kids did say that, you know, there had to be some type of power differential, but a lot of other ones said that there were kids who had less power that would bully to try to gain power, who were less popular, who would bully in order to gain popularity. So they didnt really agree with the requirement to have that component. But we did want to and continue to include it as a followup question to see if that power imbalance was there. And then we can kind of determine on the back end if they indicated there was some type of power imbalance, that that was present. Thank you. Uhhuh. [inaudible] hi.

Performing students to help prepare them for college. We read philosophical tests ranging and wrote revised College Level essays. At the same time i worked with the lowest performing students who had yet to pass the state tests of the with them we did mindless test prep. Even though i was really good at it getting 100 of those students to pass their exams in my final year doing it i was doing the students no favors. I think about a senior who could hardly write and struggled to read. Sure she passed the test but she was still ready, she was not ready for the Community College work she encountered that fall. When we focus efforts only helping struggling students jump over a hurd definitely mandated exams the learning an opportunity gap widens. My Current School harvest collegiate is a member of new york performing standard consortium of a group of 48 schools that offer more alternative model. We use more rigorous Testing Systems than state exams. Highstakes assessments are not on demand
