• Its Past

First the good news: The nation's eighth-graders are doing better in history class. Now the bad news: They're not doing much better. Gains in test scores are small, made by the lowest performers, and just 17 percent of those tested are "proficient," or competent. It gets worse. Just 12 percent of high school seniors, who are getting ready to vote for the first time, have a proficient knowledge of history. If you're looking for a tinsel lining, you could point to 20 percent of fourth-graders who are described as proficient, but that means eight of 10 haven't learned very much during their tender years in the classroom.

• Consumers Here Manage Their Debt Well

Western New Yorkers have a reputation for playing it pretty close to the vest with their money. When it comes to borrowing, we've generally been careful about not taking on more than our paychecks can bear.

• Many Circumstances Warrant a Special Enrollment Period

My father suffered a stroke in early November. He was hospitalized and then admitted to a rehabilitation facility. He is doing much better and will return home in the next week or so. However, because of the emergency situation and long rehabilitation, the Medicare Part D Open Enrollment came and went without my father being able to make any changes to his Part D drug plan. Are there any exceptions because of his health emergency occurring in the middle of the Open Enrollment Period? I am sorry to hear about your father's ill health but happy to hear he is recovering.
