She worked with me week after week to help me identify strategies I could use to learn the skills I needed. By the end of that school year, I was excited to learn, and I started earning better grades.

By Betsy Hill and Roger Stark A number of state departments of education are working to remove the grading systems for schools that were established in the No Child Left Behind era.

They would then be able to make more educated decisions about where to send their kids to school.

Perhaps the top reason to teach our students how to code is that it gives them a strong basis for problem-solving and helps them understand the way things work.
