I’m actually not sure I agree. These are high school students.

Eh. The outrage should be concentrated on having students read Maya Angelou’s crap.

I fail to see what this had to do with math.

Should have just given them the Los Angeles Math proficiency test.

Ridiculous. These are objective questions on the reading. If the
reading is assigned, why would anything in it be excluded as
subject matter for a test?

I taught high school English for 20 years, all classics, and all
contain subject matter that must be handled with care.

But on the subject of Angelou: like I said, I taught classics.

What was the adult content? The OP normally supplies the basics so no one has to click on the link unless they want to read the entire story.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

Just teaching the chillren how to multitask. Nothing to see here!

Speaking of adult content, I’d be more concerned about the elementary level health curriculum in the national standards. Pretty raunchy stuff.

In Eduspeak this assignment is both interdisciplinary and inclusive.

A sterling example of modern education.
