What are some other questions that can be asked to gain a fuller picture of the school?**
 * 2. What do you think should be used to determine whether a student is accepted into a college?**

 * a. What is the area of a dog pen that is 10 feet in lenght by 20 feet in width?**
 * b. If you have 24 linear feet of a chain link fence, what is the largest dog pen area you can build that maximizes the square footage?**
 * 4. How does standardized testing help districts make decisions at the school level? **
