Idiotic educrat policies, take 2: Governor O'Bannon (IN-D) wants to be the 'education governor' (dont they all?). He addresses Indiana's weak standardized testing scores (usually in the low 40's out of 50 states) as the main indicator. His lame solution, as with so many others, is to change the test (as if that changes the amount of learning, or the quality of students produced). The moronic part: he decides that we should have 'the highest state standards in the nation'... making the test more difficult... which will, of course, result in lower standardized test scores. The educational process for children remains unchanged, and the test scorres will go down as an inevitable result of his own plan. Yep, that's MY governor! *sigh*
You disagree with what? That there will be separate spelling bees for "school" students and homeschoolers?
