What couⅼd you suggest about your post
that you maⅾe omе days ago? Any positive? http://www.asa-alger.org/index.php/component/k2/itemlist/user/314603
Can you be more specific; not sure which post or what info. ~ Many thanks.
Interesting read!
Do you mean 81% teachers are white?
I’m going to check out the rest of the story for Vermont. I wonder what that $20,540 per student produces, and, what are the teachers paid? Conversely, what is the rest of the story in Utah?
Carol, you have started a great conversation! Thanks again for such interesting blogs!
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
Again, many thanks. ~
