Thanks for the pin.


I teach college freshman at a major University, and I can say with experience that common core/No child left behind is not just destroying education, but destroying how kids/adults think for themselves. Nearly every student "studies" to pass a test; however, I design my test questions in a way they cannot study for with simple memorization. Every year seems to be getting worse and worse as far as student preparedness for college.
 Quoting: Zedakah


I believe it! I graduated with my degree nearly twenty years ago and it was a struggle for me to think critically. This was well before the days of NCLB, too. I had high marks academically k-12, but when I got to college, I could no longer dump a bunch of facts onto a test.

I see what school is like these days....the future is bleak unless the system changes.
