Spence, you wouldn't expect him to know the conversion table but an approximation would be nice.

The young man at the market though, well, kind of inexcusable. Was it his first day on the job?

This is what the MCAS testing is supposed to point out, at least in Massachusetts, the shortcommings of our schools curiculums today.

I am curious why teachers became so upset at having to change what they teach in order to get a sufficient number of students with the appropriate skill level to pass MCAS tests? If what is on those tests is what you need to know then why were not those skills being taught?
