There are, however, two surefire ways to hit the 2014 target. One is for schools to cheat on the tests--a frighteningly commonplace solution, according to David Berliner, a respected education scholar at Arizona State University and a co-author of a new book, Collateral Damage, that documents the cheating trend. The other solution is to make the state tests easier, a phenomenon known among educators as "the race to the bottom." Philadelphia's Vallas likes to joke that there are two paths to success for his city's schools: improve instruction for students "or give them the Illinois tests...

At Arizona Desert Elementary in San Luis, Ariz., students spend three hours of their 6 1/2-hr. day on literacy and 90 min. on arithmetic. Science is no longer taught as a stand-alone subject.

Woodfork ’99, who now serves as the current assistant general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Though Harvard has had several Latin-American players in the past, Hispanics at the collegiate level account for even less of the national pie, at 4.3 percent...
...Crimson coaching staff as an assistant. Tracey brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to Cambridge, having won three world championships playing with the U.S. National Team and one as a coach of the under-19 National Team. The husband-wife duo coached together most recently at Arizona State University, where they compiled a 60-45-4 record. Leone, who was named head coach in February after previous coach Erica Walsh departed for Penn State University, announced in March that Katie Shields ‘06, who starred in goal for four seasons with the Crimson, will also join...
