They just need to make college easier.
The left relies on a permanant, dependent and VOTING FOR HANDOUT underclass to funnel money and provide power to the government at the detriment of those who do real work.
I bet they lead the nation in pot studies.
Could be a silver lining in those low scores on social studies considering the leftest, anti-American drivel taught in most SS and history classes in PC America.
of course. Everyone is stoned.
College and career, not preparation for life. Common Core to the core.
...and then there is the testing testing testing, commonly (no pun intended) called assessment. A very expensive and time consuming exercise in non education.
I think I see what the problem is:
“For example, in fourth-grade social studies, 6 percent of Hispanic/Latino students and 7 percent of African-American students have “strong” or “distinguished command” of the subject. That compares with 24 percent of white students and 28 percent of Asian students.
For seventh-grade social studies, 6 percent of Hispanic, Latino, and African-American students ranked strong or distinguished, while 22 percent of whites and 34 percent of Asian students did.”
too much dope
According to a teacher, the kids were tested for three weeks straight and by the time they had to take these particular tests, they couldn’t have cared less. Also, the tests were computerized and the kids didn’t have the typing skills need to keep up.
Seems like the schools are now just testing centers for the kids.
