I· girl returns ® DOUBLE POINT FOR ,, home By Laurel J. Sweet and Jennifer Rosinski BOSTON HERALD CHILI DOGS A 14-year-old Brighton girl who disappeared Saturday after I talking on the phone with a man walked back into the family home Tuesday night and em­ braced her mother. DOUBLE MILES FOR "I was inside my home in the kitchen and I felt somebody give me a hug from behind and when I turned my head she was there, •and I said, 'welcome home,"' ROLLER COASTERS Martine Charles said of her c;laughter Natacha, whom she feared dead. Charles was at work Saturday when Natacha, an eighth-grade student at Academy of the Pacif­ EXTRA CASH B CK FOR ic Rim Charter School in Hyde I Park, told her brother she was going to the store about 4 p.m. When she didn't come home, her ANTACID family reported her missing to Boston Police that night. Charles said her daughter wc;m't talk at>out where she was or what happened, only saying -'S he was with a "friend." i 1'Whatever happened, I' m glad she's safe," Charles said. · Charles thought her daughter had been seduced by an Internet predator. Her only clue to her daughter's di sappearance was a Boston-area number her tele­ phone's caller ID recorded. She said she called the number twice, it>oth times getting the answering machine of a man named "Troy." She didn't leave a mes­ sage. She said police contacted "Troy," who allegedly told them he spoke with Natacha on a tele­ phone party line but didn't meet her in person. The fam ily is relocating to Or­ lando, Fla., next month.

l ••••••••••••••••••••• .• , .." , EDITORIAL -- MCAS tests aren't the only answer

r most Massachusetts residents, both in and out of ublic schools, the MCAS tests, so controversial for Rso long, have become routine. Students, who now take the standardized tests at almost every grade level, ha\e acquired the test-taking ski lls that once were a pre~sing con­ cern. Teachers have learned to distinguish between teaching to the test and teaching the knowledge and skills on the test. But there are so~e who are still fighting a I 0-ycar-old battle over high-stakes testing, and there's nothing lik.e good news to bring them out. The latest good news was Commis­ sioner of Education David Dliscoll's announcement that 96 percent of the class of 2004 had passed the English and math tests and were cleared to graduate. Not true, say the critics. Driscoll's figures don't count the thousands of students who started ninth grade with the class of 2004 but dis~ppeared along the way. By their numbers. only 74 percent passed the MCAS. That may be true. What isn't true is the implication that the other 26 percent either failed or would have failed the MCAS, or that they were in some other way inadequate!} educated. The number who left school before senior 1ear certainly includes some high school dropouts, but it al o in­ ~'.·., cludes thousands of students who simply moved out of state or transferred to private or parochial schools. OA~E (6~~raW.. ~9@M~~;r0AtL~Nt'N~ It also includes some number of students who were held back a year so they could be better prepared for the MCAS LETTERS and other academic challenges.
