Because they’re scr**ing around on a computer and instead of reading a damn book and writing about it.
Just another cog in THE BIG DEMOCRAT MONEY-MAKING MACHINE!
“We are asking more from our students and teachers than we ever have, and I am proud of their hard work”
No, you’re not.
I wonder if Trayvon passed...
This is just more proof that socialism(government or government schools) doesn’t work.
But wasn't the state wide standardized tests design to identify problems such as this? If so, then the tests have done EXACTLY what they were designed to do.
In the Panhandle of the state our failure rates were much MUCH lower no where near 50%.
One final question, since the tests were a controlled item it would be possible to link the failed tests to a student, a school, and probably teachers. Has any one read any in depth analysis of the test results? Like where the failures were concentrated, how bad the failures were (a near miss could be attributed to a bad hair day, a major failure is something else), and finally the socio-economic-racial identity of the failing students?
I guess no one wants to ask them selves the really hard questions like they just asked the students. it is so much easier and easier to change the rules than to improve the final product
Lowering the standards...yep, that will help them learn! The dumbing-down of America continues. Soon it will be acceptable to be illiterate and still get into college for four more years of government assisted "education." Then we will have a country of unemployable college grads with useless degrees, no jobs, government loans that can't be paid back, and lots of condoms. Wait...looks like we are well on that track.
CAPS mine
Now, are any parents suing the individual members of the teachers union for non-performance/failure?
Haff of Florda hi skool studints fale reeding tess..?
Just think, with a little more effort and a few thousand dollars more per student in education spending, we’ll be approaching Medieval levels of literacy.
Holding emergency meetings to lower the standards, wow

He was "The Education Governor".
Said Michael Grebe, president of the the Bradley Foundation, "During his administration and since, Florida students have made incredible gains. Governor Bush was at the forefront of education reform in the state."
Not.
He went through the motions, but not much changed of any lasting value.
Stay outta da Bushes.

Florida has long been known for its lousy public schools. Still, this is alarming.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
