The irony of this scandal is there is now no reason to cheat as the Obama administration is in the process of doing away with standardized testing pursuant to the union’s wishes and no failed schools will be closed. No Child Left behind was Bush’s biggest mistake. It was only a matter of time before the Dems took control, and kept the increased spending of No Child Left Behind but did away with all testing standards.
Sad BTTT!
I hate what they (all politicians) are doing to our future generations.
In contrast the school I was in had 3 quizzes and 3 exams every WEEK, to keep us on our toes. Sure it was tough but it gave the students tremendous work ethic. I look at where my classmates are now and all of them are doing extremely well in life. Sadly I attended those schools abroad but there are many branches of the SABIS system in the US. I think there are 10 of them, and 2 of them placed int he top 10% of highschools. When I have children I will want them to go to those schools as I cant seem to trust the educational system, plus I know what I would be getting enrolling them there. I would want them to be challenged and not just have fun fun fun all through school. Life is tough and requires hard work and is something they need to learn early on.
