Oops ! It was Miss Teen USA from S.C.
Sorry Alabama.

My kids go to a high end private school, and by 3rd grade:
-perfect cursive
-multiplication and division mastered
-basic understanding of Latin
-basic understanding of algebra
-basic knowledge of history
-mastery of reading and reading comprehension
-ability to write book reports on what they have read
-working competence in art and awareness of the masters and their associated works and techniques.
-basic fluency in Spanish
-can do 20 push up’s and vigorous cardo
-perfect body weight
yeah, but these kids can type out illegible textspeak at 250 words per minute.
And I use the word “words” very loosely.
My mama always told me to remember that half of all doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class, and proceed with caution on any advice given by ‘experts.’
Has California passed Mississippi yet? No offense ,Miss.. .
“You can imagine what will happen to the school district when all the smarter students leave the school district.”
Indeed, even a High School diploma from Sonoma County won’t get you a job in Starbucks anymore.
Sounds like a great school.
I attended public school in the 40s-—back when public schools taught academics and didn’t fool around with “social justice” issues.
I did well-—but NEVER could have done 20 pushups. Never.:-)
.
Yeah, but can the kids build a ramp out of bricks and plywood and jump over two of their buddies on a bicycle with a 10-22 harnessed to his back and a string of fish dangling from the handlebars while other buddies throw mudballs at him?
I think not.
Good luck bagging a squirrel with that clarinet, nerds!
This is incredibly sad. Growing up in California, we had the best schools in the nation.
excellent
“”””but NEVER could have done 20 pushups”””””
pfffft. I did 60 while I was typing this and eating a nanner sandwich at the same time.
Stupidly worded headline. Should say 20% or less is an F, 21% or greater is an A
I'd be planning my move now, whether or not I had kids. This grading system is going to make property in this school district undesirable to high-achieving parents with kids. Those parents (who are mostly prosperous) are going to move out. Property values drop. The quality of a school system has a big effect on property prices.
That’ll happen when the majority of the state has an IQ below 90.
Obama Math!
Woo Hoooo!
At least it's consistent.
Same technique as national statistics since Obumgo took office.
It's worked for crime Statistics, Unemplyment, National Debt, Black crime, etc., etc., Etc...
My dad has been a teacher for 40+ years, and he still grades on a curve. Most students like ‘curved’ grades...but they really mean ‘scaled’ grades.
Rather the curve ensures a couple of students get an A, a few get an F, some more B’s and D’s, and the majority get a C. C used to mean ‘Average’...as in the average grade in the class is a C.
Grades are racis.
Okay,I give up.
What on earth is a nanner sandwich?

Hey, as long as your surgeon knows 20% of what he should know and passes, you should have no worries.
