Christopher:
Actually, I knew that. It's just
that New York is at the top of the participation rate. But yes, the NY - Boston
rivalry is rather interesting. A few years back I was buying a bag of peanuts
and there were 2 bins of them - one with Red Sox logo, another with a
Yankee logo. I guess the Yankee ones were for the
tourists. Peanuts are peanuts, so I grabbed the one closest to me, and,
sure enough, a fellow shopper the size of a bouncer accused me of supporting the
'evil empire.' I wasn't sure where my health card was, so, I
wisely smiled, nodded, and walked away. The New Hampshire local culture, btw, is
fiercely anti-Massachusetts, except when it comes to sports!

John,
Reality check time. New York is NOT in New
England.
If you don't believe me, say that it is on the streets of
Boston.
Make sure your health insurance is in order
first.
Regards,
Chris Green

vary as a function of the 'participation rate' - what % of HS students take
the test. New York has the highest participation rate (92%) and SAT averages
of 497 and 511 (V, M) in 2005. Mississippi averages 564 and 554 (V, M)
with a 4% participation rate. North Dakota, also at 4% averages 590 &
605. See all the data:

I think there are some colleges and universities in that region of the
country. More highly educated parents? A greater value . N placed on education?
Just guesses.

Test scores froim New England are persistenly
high.Why?
a)teachers teach the test and since the tests are made there they
may have a premonition as to what will be on the test
b)they eat lots of
fish and hence acetylcholine levels are high
c) what else is there to do in
NE except to study?
d) all of the above
e)none of the
above
other?please explain.
