CB>SAT SCORES UP; SHANKER CREDITS MORE RIGOROUS COURSES
CB>SAT scores rose modestly in 1996, an improvement AFT president Albert
CB>Shanker attributes to a renewed emphasis in schools on the academic core
CB>curriculum. The average math score rose two points, to 508, while verbal
CB>scores were up a point, to 505.
This, of course, is silly... A 1 or 2 point change is just
background "noise", as it only represents something like a
0.2% - 0.4% change - Random fluctuation.....
