As we move on under the microscope here in Holyoke, and I guess everywhere else, I noticed that on a recent city assessment over 94% of the 8th graders got a question work. The question read, what is the closest answer to the following: The square root of 160/16. Over 80% answered 10. Is this that they didn’t read the question or that they did not understand the concept it projected?
