I have always said that this State is home to the biggest Idiots in the nation.
It was up to the Libs to prove it... and they have.

“Just half of Massachusetts students meet test expectations”

“They said the fact that about half of those students who took the test scored below the new “meeting expectations” level will only add to calls for more standardized testing in schools.”

The solution is simple. Make the test easier. Keep making it easier until you get the results you want.
Black students and BLM groups in Massachusetts expended money and incredible energy to ensure that black students could wear long braided hair on sports teams, even though it was a hazard to safety.
But they cannot be bothered about black students who cannot read or perform even the most basic math functions.

Testing should be eliminated. It could stigmatize the “Not Meeting Expectations” group and trigger them.
Just give them all a participation trophy and send them home. And double the teachers’ salaries for achieving equality of outcome.
but I bet they know their 19 politically correct pronouns..
What is interesting if I remember correct is this. My brilliant State Senator in MI Pat Colbeck was trying to get MI to adopt MA pre-No Child left Behind Standards ( and methodology of teaching? ) they were that good. Let's not get into how the EGOP here in MI put the screws to him last week, but let that go. I wonder if "comparisons with the past are difficult" are hearkening back to When the State of MA's numbers did mean something of which Pat was trying to convince MI to adopt...
Another Common Core success story .... your tax dollars at work or not!
What about the other third?
I caught part of that story on the local WCVB-TV (ABC) news tonight.
The graphic they used said students in the Massachusetts city of Chelsea, so sad, were only 23 percent of “meeting or exceeding” expectations.
But the city the newsheads used as a good example (I forget which city) had 47 percent of students who met or exceeded expectations. Yay!
Wait a minute. Fewer than half of these kids met expectations? That’s all?
Public schools suck. No other word for it. The people who work for them can protest all they want, tell us all day how hard they work at teaching our children and how professional they are. But at the end of the day, the schools simply aren’t working. Drastic action is required.
But you can bet 80% of them are receiving A’s and B’s.
This is all deliberate.
The dumbing down of the USA’s students is absolutely necessary for the justification of importation of foreign workers and for justification of businesses expanding workforces outside of the USA not within where labor is less expensive and globalism is fomented.
I guess not much time is left after the transgender comes in to read to the kids and the kids are instructed on which rest room they can use and they have to wait until Muslims return from their prayers 5 times a day and they finish singing songs about saint Obama and get up off their knees after demonstrating the National anthem and pledge of allegiance there is no time for math and English,maybe after Spanish lessons
