… and some that did not

A C-MINUS. That’s not a good grade in anyone’s book, but that’s what Tennessee earned in preparing its young people for college. The only good thing we can find in it is that it’s a substantial improvement from 10 years ago. However, the state got an F on the financial burden it places on students trying to get a degree. The results are from a biennial study, “Measuring Up 2006: The State Report Card on Higher Education,” released by the independent National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education and U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings in Washington. One other good mark: A B for education completion.
