  <description><![CDATA[Vicki S. Hinerman: Summers students enticed to test well
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Summers County High School has been named by the West Virginia Department of Education as a &quot;priority school.&quot; To receive federal Title I funds, the department is required to have a plan to increase test scores.
The plan is to give assistance to schools that score in the bottom 5 percent for three years. In the case of Summers County High, only the 11th-grade scores on the language arts and math sections of the WEST...]]></description>

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) &mdash; A school district forced to apologize for serving children cold cheese sandwiches for lunch had planned to include meat and several side dishes, but the state Department of Education's chief nutritional officer said Tuesday even that meal would have been less than ideal. 
&quot;This is the first time in my tenure that I've seen bologna on a menu,&quot; said Richard Goff, executive director of the Office o...]]></description>

There is nothing like taking a vintage vehicle and refurbishing it back to perfection. When I bought a 1957 Chevy Nomad it needed a little help -- OK, a lot of help. The paint was chipping, there were a few dents and the upholstery was damaged. With attention, dedication and a clear vision, the car was reborn. Why do I share this story?

  <description><![CDATA[S. Thomas Bond: No motivation for education
Everyone realizes our schools are in trouble. No one seems to know why, and thinking about solutions is invariably kept in a separate compartment from our other social problems. The wealthy put their children in private schools, some religious folk put theirs in special schools run by religious leaders. Retired teachers are thankful they are no longer teaching and spend hours telling each other how things have changed. 
The recent ruckus involving firing of t...]]></description>

By Mark Schone, NBC News
&nbsp;
The nation&rsquo;s second largest educational testing service apologized Wednesday for computer issues that disrupted federally-mandated online tests for thousands of students in Indiana and Oklahoma this week &ndash; exams that are already controversial for their outsize role in determining school funding, student evaluations and teacher salaries.
