Georgia third-graders needed to answer correctly fewer than half the questions on the state's reading test to be promoted to fourth grade, educators disclosed Tuesday.
The "cut score" — the number of correct responses needed to pass — was 17 of 40 questions, or 42.5 percent.

Georgians aren't too bright and need alittle assistance to get thru life? lol.
Any luck in the getting kicked off blogit yet?
I can't read more than 2 lines from anyone on there.
but the state of GA schools are typical of schools in the entire nation. So the country's education is so pitiful that they need to lower standards for anyone to pass.
