    We've finally reached the end of standardized testing season, and the news from around the country has not been good. With frozen computer systems and student opt-outs stealing most of the headlines, we wanted to know: Is there anyone for whom testing went well?
    Enter Ned Kirsch, Superintendent of Franklin West Supervisory Union in Vermont.
