Meanwhile, as FL education -- under Gov. Bush's leadership -- continues to improve, New Jersey seeks to eliminate tests, according to this article:

FYI. BTW, I thought that recent article in the Orlando Sentinel, allegedly about what FL 4th graders are required to know, was nothing but a hit piece.

Yes, New Jersey want to dumb down its students.

NJ, No Founding Fathers, Old White Men, and Pilgrim and Puritan are out too since the Name implies "Religion" in addition, the word "War" is taken out and Replaced by "Conflict" These changes were implemented during a REPUBLICAN RINO Administration.

But, the news IS better in FL... :)

This means that some students can be motivated. This means more students than before have been motivated. This is good and needs to be repeated elswhere. But I still say that we should do all we can to find and motivate those students and then separate them from those who won't be motivated. I said won't, not can't. These students shouldn't drag down the rest. But I am truly happy about these Florida results.
