What Daily Memphians think*
“Meet the new bosses, same as the old bosses.” — Jesse Bunn about Richmond's MSCS team includes mix of new and familiar pieces

These tests are corporate products that we pay millions of dollars for. ... yes, these scores can tell us some things, but we need to remember that they do not represent a complete picture of the learning going on in classrooms.” — Kristy Alley about 6 charts show how Memphis-area students stack up on TCAP tests
“How bad is Kroger here that we get excited about LITERALLY anyone else but them. Thankful for South Point, Cash Saver and Superlo.” — Evan Winburne about Warren: With Hy-Vee out, what about another grocer
