The front page of The Boston Globe today applauds Mass. fourth grade students for ranking first in Science in the NAEP and eighth graders who ranked second.( 12th-grade scores have not yet been broken down by states.) The problem in many states and districts is that many teaching science do not have science backgrounds or certification. Rod Paige, US Education Secretary described the 12th-grade decline nationally as "morally significant". I am not sure if the NAEP is given to all students but the MCAS (Mass. exam) is... regardless of their special needs. This, of course, has a great impact on the comparison of scores from one year to the next...and from one district to the next. We, obviously,need certified teachers in each subject..the problem is, finding those people who will give up more lucrative careers to teach! I like the President's push for retired military people to enter teaching as long as they are qualified! Marie
