Many Visions, Many Aims, One Test.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n5 p411-12 Jan 1997

Surprisingly, Florida's minimum competency testing program has not increased low-achievers' dropout rate. A recent "American Demographics" article shows 40% of adults engaged in formal educational activities. (MLH)
