Murdoch seeks permission to merge UK's Times and Sunday Times
Rupert Murdoch's London-based newspapers The Times and Sunday Times have asked the British government for permission to share resources across both titles, a move that is barred under rules imposed when the media mogul bought both newspapers in 1981.

Kids in Tx are already some of the poorest educated in the country because all they get taught now is the STAAR test (which is a measure of THE TEACHER, NOT THE KID) and so much pressure put on kids to pass it that it is not uncommon for kids to vomit, sleeplessness, or have anxiety because this stupid standardized test. Many parents just dont send their kids to school that day because they cant opt out. This would make it even worse. Terrible idea, TEA!
Will Texas' attempt to shake up school finance lead to higher stakes for standardized tests?
The idea of tying a portion of funding to test scores appeals to some who want to improve student performance, but it enrages educators who say it will encourage teaching to the test.

UNBELIEVABLE! That's all they teach now!
