> The one fly in the ointment is that rural students fair much poorly.
A quote from the report: "Alberta students did exceptionally well: Rural students outscored even the urban ones of all other provinces except B.C., Quebec and Newfoundland." So there you have it, folks. Albertan farmers are smarter than your average city slicker. Apparently my children's school, which is in a small town of about 1,000, scores up near the top academically. Others have noted this and swamped the school this year with requests to have their children attend there even though they don't live in the school district. The school had to turn away many. But I'm very surprised about Newfoundland. They have earned their reputation honestly, from my experience, so I'm flabbergasted that they scored so well. ========= Mark Gregson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========= -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com Powered by Outblaze ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
