On the downside, students complained that the Kindle was fundamentally "ill-suited for class readings.""

I encourage math teachers to let students read the article and at least the first two responses. It's a great example of blatant misinformation.

  • n California, alone, the new math standards will not be operational until 2014 and the new English/Language Arts standards not until 2016.

  • The ACT researchers found through their research, published as “Reading Between the Lines,” that our typical high school graduates, even though fully qualified for college by their grades and either SAT or ACT scores, were still demonstrably unprepared for the reading demands of either the college classroom or the typical workplace.
