Local News | Wash. state not a finalist for Race to Top school money | Seattle Times Newspaper

Local News | Wash. state not a finalist for Race to Top school money | Seattle Times Newspaper:

"The states are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina.

Two states, Tennessee and Delaware, were awarded a total of $600 million in the first round of the competition."

At least Washington got farther than Oregon did, which was nowhere. Our educational system has sucked for decades. It's amazing, actually. We have the same problems as 30+ years ago when I moved here. No progress whatever. Probably worse.
