Now, some parents are taking on that claim and trying to do something to help these students. One parent who pulled his son out of state exams speaks with Gretchen about this issue.
THERE IS A WAY FOR TEACHERS TO BE HELD ACOUNTABLE WITHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BEING INVOLVED IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE CAN STILL PUSH FOR THEIR STATE TO HAVE THEIR OWN BASIC SKILLS TEST EVERY CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS TO KEEP RECORD AND COMPARE IT TO A NATIONAL AVERAGE. THERE ARE MANY WAYS FOR A STATE TO SUCCESSFULLY TAKE CARE OF ITS OWN EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. IF YOU DONT FEEL YOUR STATE IS RUNNING THERE ED DEPT WELL, THEN DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT. OR MOVE TO A BETTER LOC
All NCLB is, and was, for the record, nothing but cock-and-bull lip service, being that it's both a misnomer and critically underfunded, pure, plain and simple.
I finished school in '92, and I absolutely cannot believe this s&%# is still going on. You have the unions wielding too much clout over retaining bad teachers. I once had an algebra teacher who taught at a slow, dull, humorless pace, yet had the gall to post "NEA: Providing Quality Education" on his classroom door just for PR purposes.
Let me get this straight, you think we shouldn't trust our teachers? The same teachers that are with our children 5 days a week for 7 and a half hours? The teachers that educate and inform our children of the world around them? You must be out of your mind. Of course we need to trust our teachers. And what's this about us being number 1. When were we ever number 1 in education? Guess what, Finland and Japan are number 1 and they don't have standardized testing.
trusting the teachers is what made our country go from number 1 to number 25. thats why we have testing. without testing we would not know we dropped to 25 in the world
