The FCAT starts on Tuesday February the 9th, which is next Tuesday.
I know that one of the big questions that is asked by high school students and parents is:
Is a passing score on the FCAT Writing assessment a graduation requirement?
The answer as of right now is no, although it had been for the class of 2010. Read the more complete answer here.
Good Luck to everyone testing!

I am tired of celebrities taking the limelight from real life concerns. Yesterday Tiger Woods had an accident, in the process he received minor injuries. All day and into this morning all the major networks have called in their lawyers, analysts or in one case Mark Furman from the OJ trial to talk about it. WHY? It was an accident, he is a celebrity but he didn’t kill anyone, he is okay. Get over it, get on with the news that matters in the real world. I have barely seen any coverage of the family that was killed in Florida by a family member nor have I seen any coverage of the world events. We have a possible terrorist act in Russia, but it is getting less coverage than Tiger.
Maybe this is why our school systems are having a hard time meeting No Child Left behind. The world or the media doesn’t care about what is really important.
