It's test results day or what is known to all education reporters as "go-day".
Writing about test scores is the bread and butter for education reporters. There is a certain amount of stress and preparation that goes into the initial day's reporting. Phone calls are made. Plans are layout and revisited.
But the stories that follow after are what the scores are truly about: the students who triumphed, the schools that fell short, the teachers who became rock stars in the classrooms, the districts that have to readjust to increase next year's scores.
Reassured that as education reporters Nicole and I feel the stress and we are aware that these scores are important to parents, teachers, schools, and administrators. We know this because these scores are important to us too.
We'll keep everyone up dated through the Web site and through the blog on what we find out during the day.
