Students Gain Only Marginally on Test of U.S. History

[teech]

well wait till teech get's to her new school and those 8th graders!!!!

Federal officials reported yesterday that students in 4th, 8th and 12th grades had scored modestly higher on an American history test than five years earlier, although more than half of high school seniors still showed poor command of basic facts like the effect of the cotton gin on the slave economy or the causes of the Korean War.

Too bad there aren't more "teech"-like teachers at the K-12 level. After all, those who forget history (or fail to comprehend it in the first place) are condemned to repeat it.
