I see it. I don’t get it.
That is an injustice to kids nowadays.
Whatever happened to flashcards and memorization?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

(...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith...)

The article reads like a sports announcer reporting on a game:
“down two points” “up three points” “scores were higher for fourth graders... up seven points ... up six points”
And the students are split into teams:
“white” “black” “Hispanic” “The average score for white students...”
It’s all so ridiculous. So glad to be a homeschool family in a state that doesn’t require this testing.

Common Core will only make it worse.

Formerly education was about education.
Government education, in regard to this ancient standard, is an extremely expensive huge failure which is on track to even greater educational failure with the establishment of Common Core.
But, hey, for social engineering, the pseudo sciences, the promotion of sex and especially gay sex, Mooch lunches, anti-America and anti-Christian propaganda, the US government schools are tops.
I'm so appreciative that the government robs me blind so they can promote their real agenda.

That certainly lends itself to working in a corporate environment.
