A University of Washington study aims to help you help your child with school sports.
As my children finish up their last week of WASL testing, along with students all over Washington state, I'm left with the question, "What's it all for anyway?" In search of an answer, I found some great Web sites that explain the importance of the WASL and what's in it for schools and parents.

In the 19th century, tourists used to slaughter bison herds from passing trains, blasting the big beasts into near extinction just for fun. That ugly tradition is echoed in the recent massacre of buffalo in Colorado, which has also touched off a classic confrontation over rights between two ranchers. The Northwest connection: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's John Cook points out that the man behind the recent massacre is the chairman and CEO of one of Seattle's top software companies, Jeff Hawn of Attachmate. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
