ooo hot dang

i recently read an article in the startribune newspaper about 4th and 8th graders are improving in the math and science field. for the 4th graders they are 5th in science and 2nd in mathimatics. for the 8th graders they are 6th in math and 5th in science. such quotes as "i think we ought to have a party" and "we made amazing gains, and this is reason for us to clebrate that our teachers stepped up to the plate." speak for themselfs and saying that minnesota is making a stunning come up in the past few years. minnesota educators say that the math gains are due to dramatic increases in time spent on math instruction and new, rigorous state math standards. i really think that if we keep this up we too can become the smartest state in the good 'ol USA.
