'Nuff Said

Checking my email, found another nugget I'd overlooked. (You can't make this stuff up.)

Tribune, "Illinois lowers required score on a key exam for teachers":
The Illinois State Board of Education voted Thursday to lower the passing score on the social science/history test that teachers must pass before receiving their licenses, saying that too many prospective teachers were failing the exam.

The board voted unanimously to drop the bar from 64 to 57, making it significantly easier for teacher candidates to pass. A score of 57 means the test taker answered 57 of 100 questions correctly, state officials said.
Reader comment:
Isn't 57/100 an "F"?
'Nuff said.
