I hope the CA Supreme Court overturns this foolishness. Tests are tests, and people should be required to take them. Don't change results just to affirm someone's self esteem.
A year ago, I was ago with public school. I had a very positive experience with public school. Then our district closed my kids school, and we have been in public school H***.
My daughter who has brain damage was above grade level in reading/writing last year. In November and again in February, she had not gone up at all. Now, she is at or below grade level. According to the district, there isn't a problem and she doesn't need any help.
Also, according to the school principal I am the reason that my kids are unhappy with school. It's not the fact that one of my daughters is sick of hearing kids cuss, seeing kids get beat up, putting up with kids being disruptive in the classroom, or the fact that there has been absolutely no science in the classroom this year.
I am so ready to go to private school or homeschool. I just don't know what which one we are going to do yet.
It depends on who writes the test....tests written by liberals force teachers to teach liberalism.
That would be delusional self esteem.
