The 4 December issue of RRT contained what I found dismal news about education in Montana; State Supt. Arntzen showed 44% of students proficient in reading and 39% in Mathematics! Good grief! (Does this explain why sometimes at IGA a clerk needs a calculator to compute the cost of two $0.98 bakery items?)
In the same assessment framework that provided these test data, I wonder how Roundup fared and hope someone in our schools’ administration will put our town’s or county’s results in this column.
It interested me that Supt. Arntzen’s response was action to improve teachers in these disciplines...
