"No Child Left Behind" Test Scores, US kids getting dumber (?) the Prez
Alright, yesterday, the Prez let 10 states off the hook for keeping up with NCLB. In effect, he dismantled the Bush education benchmark for improving the teaching by raising standards. PS, it wasn't working anyway. News flash. I was in the classroom in elementary school for 4 years, and I tell you from first hand experience, in the trenches, they were dodging and weaving from the get-go.
There were schemes out there to dodge NCLB throughout the districts because the kids were not able to cut it.
The BIG question is THIS: WHY aren't the kids cutting it?
In an age where everyone screams that education-wise WE ARE NOT MAKING THE GRADE, the Prez is cutting BACK the standards because we can't make it!!!
Get wise, people. You are being short changed. Look at the states where the kids are being told, " ok, we know it's too hard. We'll give you a break. "
Where are they? Who populates those states? What of the parents, and theire reponsibilities? One third of the teachers won't be in the classroom in five years and of those counted, it has been interviewed you can't pitch enough money at them for those teachers to go back.
Wonder why?
