It ain't floating any balloons any longer. So now it's "If you don't support our agenda, your kids will be classified as stupid, and stupid kids get forcibly medicated. Oh, and their parents get Obamacared into end of life counseling". Probably one of the many reasons liberals hate school vouchers/choice. Still, they did throw that "white women" in there.

I know this because I was really good and he's better than I was. Much better in English. He was having trouble with the old NY state ELA (English Language Arts) tests because he couldn't figure out what the question wanted. He was getting scores of 3 (above grade level) but not 4 (distinguished.) The new CC compliant test is longer and harder, but it's clear what is asked. Now he's scoring well up in the 4 range, as the districts's scores have fallen. I really don't know what they were testing before, but it's not the stuff that served me well all the way thru school. Now it's more familiar to this old guy, WITH CC. |

Brilliance is not about taking a multiple choice questionnaire. Brilliance is about figuring out abstract ideas! Want to bet you son could not pass a 1890's Kansas 8th grade graduation test? Fact is that most high school seniors could not pass that test because it's not multiple choice. You actually have to know the material to pass! All a child needs is the three R's down pat and they will do well! Odd how a family in Alabama can get all their children in College by age 12 and flourishing but public school children are still struggling to make it past the 12th grade! |

My fiancee's 18 year old cousin is dumb as a box of rocks, thinks he's smart as all get out, no ambition to ever leave home or continue school and works part time and complains about it because he can't play on his playstation. He's a welfare recipient in waiting and it drives me up a wall! With schools getting worse and worse at actually teaching anything but propaganda parents must pick up the ball. But when the parents are brainless morons there is no one left to help the child. Commence eternal cycle of dependents. "Cattle die, kinsmen die; the self must also die.

Neither test, as far as I know, was about figuring out abstract ideas. But from my impression of what my son said, the CC test was a bit more about that than the old one which was totally lame. And by the way, my son would be able to do a lot of those Kansas questions as I remember. Some of the words he might have to google, but much of it he could figure out. You're not bursting anyone's bubble, I have a good idea what intelligence is. It is possible to make a truly difficult multiple choice test. There was once a True-False exam in a graduate math course at MIT. The scoring was 1 for a correct answer, -1 for a wrong answer, 0 for no answer. You could get a zero by answering no questions, guaranteed. The class average was NEGATIVE. And these were grad students in the MIT math department. |

When your child brings home a math test with a shiny star and "Great JOB!" hand written on the top of the page by the teacher and you start reading that test and realize that your kid had five or six wrong answers out of ten problems...You had better be asking, "Why the star," and why the, "Good job!"? The child has NOT learned anything and the star tells him he doesn't have to...the teacher doesn't care so someone must... |

He was part of a team that later started a new public elementary school built around a financial literacy curriculum, the Ariel Community Academy, which today ranks among the top elementary schools in Chicago. From 1987 to 1991, Duncan played professional basketball in Australia, where he also worked with children who were wards of the state. [link to www2.ed.gov] A true Obama crony. |
