	Education and Poverty - DRCLAS News Spring 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Equality of educational, and social, opportunity is central at this time in the history of Latin America because it will contribute to the perceived legitimacy of democratically elected regimes and their policy choices.
		Educational opportunities are the key to provide Latin American citizens access to knowledge, to the opportunity to participate in the creation of wealth and to the opportunity to prosper.
		The lower levels of educational participation and attainment among the poor in Latin America are a paradox in a region with legislation that mandates universal free primary education.

	Gotham Gazette -- Education
		The state education department, led by the Board of Regents, (who are elected by the state legislature), and the state education commissioner (who is appointed by the Regents), regulates what students are expected to learn and what requirements they must fulfill in order to graduate from the public school system.
		The goal of school-based planning and shared decision-making was "to improve the educational performance of all students in the school regardless of such factors as socioeconomic status, race, sex, or language." New York City did not enforce this law until 1996 when the Board of Education adopted the current plan for school leadership teams.
		Educational Priorities Panel - The current mission of this 26-year-old organization is to improve the quality of public education for New York City's children so that there is no longer a performance gap between city schools and those in the rest of the state.

	Education in Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The grades were used to rate each student's performance at the end of a school year and getting a 2 meant that the student would have to repeat the class or correct the grade by taking an additional exam (egzamin komisyjny) before a committee specially assembled for the exam.
		The grades given for individual assignments, exams etc. during the school year were based on the same scale, but allowed also intermediate grades, made by adding a plus, a minus or, in case of some teachers, a double minus, to the base grade.
		Grades below the lowest official passing grades, that is 3=/3- in the old system or 2=/2- in the new one, in case of some teachers mean that an extra examination is necessary before passing the student.

	Grade (education) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A grade in education can mean either a teacher's evaluation of a student's work or a student's level of educational progress, usually one grade per year (often denoted by an ordinal number, such as the "3rd Grade" or the "12th Grade").
		Since education is in the responsibility of the cantons (except for the federal universities), grading notations may differ depending on the region.
		In schools, the grade point average is computed by multiplying the summing the quantitative values (4.0, etc.) and dividing the total by the number of factors.

	Grade Inflation in Higher Education. ERIC Digest.
		According to a 1995 paper entitled "Indicators of Grade Inflation," presented by Robert Mullen, then an associate analyst in the Office of Planning and Budget at the University of Missouri, grade inflation is defined as "...when a grade is viewed as being less rigorous than it ought to be" (Mullen, 1995, p29).
		Generally, grade inflation can be described as a practice among universities and colleges to deflate the actual, real value of an A, so that it becomes an average grade among college and university students.

	Grading Students in Inclusive Settings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Weighted grading systems are permissible as long as they are predicated on "objective rating criteria" (e.g., computing grade point averages based on assigning points to grades according to the degree of difficulty of the content studied).
		School districts are permitted to designate special education courses on a transcript to a post-secondary institution in cases where the parent and the student have been informed and have provided their consent in writing.
		The grading systems (see Figure 2) selected should be applied to and be sensitive to the needs of all students, and compatible with the district's preferences regarding the purposes of grading, the different types of referent grading systems to be used, and the factors to be considered in determining grades.

		Money for education is driving a wedge between Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Eliot Spitzer, the frontrunner in the race for governor in an on-going disagreement that could turn into a major battle when a new governor takes office in January.
		Spitzer says the city needs to fork over about a billion dollars a year to comply with a landmark court ruling that found the state shortchanged city students, but Bloomberg argues the city is already paying up.
		Since he took office, the mayor says he's increased education funding by $3 billion a year, while the state has only increased aid by $1.5 billion.

		It was taken from the original document on file at the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society and Library in Salina, KS and reprinted by the Salina Journal.
		This item, purportedly a final examination for graduating eighth grade students (or graduating high school students, depending upon which version you have) is of interest because it's supposed to be documentary evidence of how shockingly our educations have declined over the last century or so.
		Although this exam may indicate, as Velz wrote, that "[o]ur notion of nineteenth-century education as primitive and backward may need modification," perhaps what it demonstrates most is the truth of the aphorism that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
