    Great posts up on GothamSchools about the recently released statewide test scores. It’s got to be a tough week for education reformers that had been hoping gains were anything but a steadily lowering bar of proficiency, but not tough enough to justify a remark like the above.  But of course, such is the life of somebody recorded at almost every moment I suppose. Glad that expectations are back on the rise, regardless of jumbled words and messages at the city level.
