used to measure students'
progress must reflect high
national standards, but
also measure the curricu

to teach.
5) Students should arrive

they have learned sufficient

"They cut it? Do they then bale it
like hay?"
"Not exactly, Lord. Most of them
rake it up and put it in bags."
"They bag it? Why? Is it a cash
crop? Do they sell it?"
"No, sir. Just the opposite. They pay
to throw it away."
"Now let me get this straight. They
fertilize grass so it will grow. And
when it does grow, they cut it off and
pay to throw it away?"
"Yes, sir.”

Many of us have lots of fond memo

king and chopping or picking cotton
was a family affair. Milking a cow or

The trees grow leaves in the spring to
provide beauty and shade in the sum

ground and form a natural blanket to
keep moisture in the soil and protect
the trees and bushes. Plus, as they
rot, the leaves form compost to
enhance the soil. It's a natural circle
of life."
