Hi Carol,

 CS> Grin, we had a test at the end of each year from 2nd grade on until HS
 CS> (multiple states).  They were used to assess the school I think.

We had various tests over the years, Iowa Test of Basic Skills in 3rd
thru 8th grades are the only ones I remember specific name for. The
English test in 10th grade was a one time test, probably to predict who
would be good college material. Regents Scholarship exam was senior
year, for money from state for college.

 CS> When we moved to VA, my old records caused a problem as the
 dyslexia CS> (mom hid it from me) lamded me in remedial finger paintin
 english.  It CS> was a great year as the teacher realized day 2 I was
 way past that! CS> (1/2 the class couldn't read).  She set me free in
 the library with CS> projects.  Wonderful year!

We only had graded English classes my senior year, but they weren't
called such. Only 14 of us in the "honors" level; we read books the
other 3 classes didn't. We concentrated on British authors so read (only
one) Shakespear, Thomas Hardy and George Orwell, among others.


 CS> Love the pita pizza idea!  I learned to make pitas but I still don't
 CS> get much of a center hole.  I'll keep trying!

We've yet to try making pitas. These were some that were given to
us,supposed to be good for wraps as they didn't have a center hole. They
do make a good pizza but you have to use the double thickness, and even
then, the crust is a much thinner one than we usually make. They bake on
a grill (we have a small pizza oven, with a stone, grill topper) easily
but best to have a peel that's big enough to hold the whole pita, no
flopping over the edges, especially if the pizza is loaded. The pita
also makes a good toaster oven size pizza, good for hot days that you
don't want to heat up the big oven or the grill.
