I am just glad the teachers did not catch me cheating, oh, there were several references but, since I was a star studded football player, the let it pass.

It's racist to expect black children to perform academically on the same level as other races.
Red state.What was their motive to do this?
To make the school look better than it is?
To help the students?
I don't really get it.
Not sure I want to, either.
Fire them all.
We put way too much emphasis on test scores. We reward or punish teachers, principals, schools, and districts based on test scores. As a result teachers teach kids how to pass the test.
The first year a new test is introduced, the kids usually do poorly. Each year they do better because the teachers learn what material is on the test and they teach to the test. After a few years the district is congratulating the staff on doing such a good job. It's nonsense.

All because the feel good liberals destroyed the education system with nonsense like " grades can cause hurt feelings and low self esteem, we should get rid of grades" and other such nonsense.
Did you know History is no longer taught until High School? Before that it is Social Studies where they learn about "different cultures" Instead of facts about historical events and actual history they learn about what people thought about and other nonsense.

Everyone should be expected to perform on the same level. No one is exempt from giving their best as no one race is of lower intelligence.

I know that in California, the Special Ed students are expected to take the same standardized test as everyone else. They may be 13 years old with the IQ to read at the 2nd grade level, but they still take the 8th grade tests.
If scores improve, that can mean teachers are doing a better job of teaching the subject but it also can mean that teachers are teaching to the test which is quite different.We put way too much emphasis on test scores.

The test evaluate the foundations of each subject. If the teachers weren't teaching that before, they weren't teaching. If the scores became better the longer the tests were given, that means the teachers finally got serious about teaching.

What ever happened to the day when teachers actually cared about their students? Please tell me we still have some left.

You are wrong, Jackson. The students are scrimming for pat answers instead of also critically thinking about the material, they have developed real issues in developing good composition skills, and if we created powerful bureaucracies at state and federal levels that the education fascists (onethinkers) of the far right are corrupting.If scores improve, that can mean teachers are doing a better job of teaching the subject but it also can mean that teachers are teaching to the test which is quite different.The test evaluate the foundations of each subject.

Not really. Since the test evaluates the foundation of skills, the teachers are now teaching what they are supposed to be teaching and publishers are offering more practice.
are private schools (or home schoolers) required to take the same tests that public schools are required to take/give in order to get tax payer's money?Thanks Tank:
God bless that woman for calling it "black on black crime". Certainly I can second the crime part..
Caring parents like her don't have years to fix the system. Their problem is a TODAY problem. And they don't want to hear about Bush or dead Kennedys or political excuses. They need a REFUND for the fraudulent actions of the school system. They need CHOICE today..
No, they aren't. They use the Iowa tests, I believe. At least here. They are not required to participate in the No Child Left Behind boloney.are private schools (or home schoolers) required to take the same tests that public schools are required to take/give in order to get tax payer's money?Thanks Tank:
