President Obama Marks 100 Days in Office
-- Barack Obama has been president for 100 days now, and a lot of people are looking at what he has accomplished so far.
The 100-day mark is the first major milestone in a presidency, but it doesn't relate to anything official. Mostly it's a chance for the media to take an early look at how a new president is doing.
Even the experts say 100 days don't mean much. It's kind of like the beginning of school: You might like your new math teacher (or not!) after just one month, but you won't know what you've learned until the year is over.
Be sure to check out The Post's special section on the president's first 100 days.
Gives Those Kids A's
-- Speaking of school, it looks like you've been learning a lot. A national survey of the country's 9- and 13-year-olds shows them doing much better in math and reading than kids did in 1971.
Nine-year-olds had the highest average scores ever last year. The nation's 13-year-olds improved their scores. The scores of high school students were unchanged.
