I have my k-8 license. I can only imagine. I found this at Math Daily.
From site: President Obama "...In 8th grade math, we've fallen to 9th place. Singapore's middle-schoolers outperform US students three to one. Just a third of our thirteen and fourteen-year olds can read as well as they should" * Find out just how good you really are! Take our math challenge today! Our free quiz has questions carefully selected from the Singapore schools math syllabus so you can know if you're just as good at math as a Singapore student. -if you would like to take this "Our Dear Leader" Math Quiz, here is the link (questions change daily, i think) http://www.mathdaily.com/games/ ABOUT THE CHALLENGE (from site) What is the MathDaily "Obama Math Challenge"? The MathDaily "Obama Math Challenge" was conceptualized in honor and support of United States President Barrack Obama's vision and desire to raise the level of proficiency of American students in math. On Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009, in his remarks after reading to the Second Grade Class at Capital City Public Charter School Washington, D.C., President Obama emphasized that one of his priorities would be to reform our schools, reward innovation, and to raise standards for all children so that everybody can learn "math and science that are going to be so important for the jobs of the future". In his remarks to the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on "A Complete and Competitive American Education" on 10 March 2009, President Obama said "...And yet, despite resources that are unmatched anywhere in the world, we've let our grades slip, our schools crumble, our teacher quality fall short, and other nations outpace us. Let me give you a few statistics. In 8th grade math, we've fallen to 9th place. Singapore's middle-schoolers outperform ours three to one. Just a third of our 13- and 14-year-olds can read as well as they should. And year after year, a stubborn gap persists between how well white students are doing compared to their African American and Latino classmates. The relative decline of American education is untenable for our economy, it's unsustainable for our democracy, it's unacceptable for our children -- and we can't afford to let it continue." Why did he point out that Singapore students are better at math than Americans? What's so special about the Singapore math syllabus? How much more challenging or advanced is the Singapore school math syllabus? It is with these questions in mind, that we designed the MathDaily "Obama Math Challenge", which carefully follows the Singapore schools' math syllabus, and is modelled after test papers taken by students at Singapore's top 10 elementary schools. We engaged highly qualified and experienced Singapore teachers and tested the Obama Math Challenge on Singapore students, to make sure that this is what you would get if you were in Singapore. Now, you can find out how you or your child's math skills compare to a Singapore students' And yes, its free of charge! The Obama Math Challenge consists of a series of 6 quizzes, with increasing levels of difficulty. Level 1 should be attempted by first graders. Level 1 consists of questions which can be solved by Primary 1 (first year elementary school) students in the top 10 Singapore schools. Refer to the table below to better understand the difficulty levels. Try our challenge, and find out how you would do as a student in Singapore! Best of all, you don't have to pay for anything - it's completely free! *No part of this website or the MathDaily Obama Math Challenge has been endorsed personally by President Obama, or the United States government.
Can you imagine what kind of summer ‘lesson plans’ these freaks have in mind?Down here in Texas, summer school is called by a variety of names: football camp, cheerleader camp, band camp, etc.
It won't happen here in the Lone Star state. We care too much about tradition, and Friday Night Lights.
