While we can't take full credit for the universal condemnation of the reading and writing WASL delay by the media, we must say we're quite pleased about it!

Today's editorial in the Seattle Times is particularly on the money:

"Most of the students who are not on track to graduate are not held back by the WASL but by a lack of credits. Concerns about the WASL's contribution to the dropout rate ignore the fact that some students were discouraged about their academic prospects long before the WASL," writes the Times.

Hallelujah! They see the light!

And so do many others as proven by the slew of recent articles that can be found on our News page.

It's good to know that folks out there believe that getting a high school diploma should mean you can read and write well. Now, let's just hope legislators agree.
