California releases annual test scores — stagnant results, persistent gaps

http://www.sfgate.com/education/article/California-releases-annual-test-scores-12232610.php

Every year, state education officials release standardized test scores — and every year they say the same thing: The achievement gap persists.

This year’s scores are no different.

Education officials across California released their scores Wednesday, each highlighting what they saw as positive news in the data while lamenting the stubborn, and in some cases widening, achievement gap.

Despite decades of effort and billions of dollars in funding, test scores for white, Asian American and wealthier students are much higher than those of their black, Latino and low-income peers. On computerized tests administered in the spring, for example, just 19 percent of African American students were proficient in math, compared with 73 percent of Asian American students.

The ‘No Fault” State.

The ‘No Papers Required’ State.

The No ‘Exit Exam’ State.

The only true exit exam that matters is how many stay entrenched in a liberal utopian paradise or leave with their kids for greener pastures and brighter futures.

Why not just stock diplomas on the shelves of grocery stores right beside toilet paper.

That is 40,000 students who met all other requirements except showing they had basic proficiency of math and language at a 10th grade level...

Why send your children to such a pathetic school system? They’d learn more at home using the great home schooling material. But of course, there’s the free baby sitting and meals at school.

EASIER THAN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. You cannot realize the deterioration that is going on in order to make this a safe state for illegals. It permeates much of our society and all of our government.

If test after test, exam after exam, consistently shows the same result: Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, all on top; ordinary whitebread Whitey second, Hispanic third, Blacks last, then it’s time to pay attention to what the tests are showing!

Eliminating the tests is admitting to what I just said, and trying to hide it.

This was done because one of the “qualifications” to be a “dreamer” was to have a high school diploma. That’s why it was retroactive as well. Not enough of the illegals could be bothered to pass the exam so it was eliminated.

And that makes high school diplomas from California totally worthless as an accomplishment. That’s liberals for you.
