Column from a CH-UH teacher "I knew my class was the most challenging of my teaching career, and our success would be evident by growth, not a minimum score. "You've never let us down," my principal said. But I did. Only half of my students made the "proficient" score of 400 on the spring reading Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA). In math, only 69 percent made it. These scores, used in this month's state report card, represent the lowest passage rates I've ever had. That they occurred during the year I was chosen Ohio Teacher of the Year is a sobering irony. "
