“Gov. Kate Brown signed a law to allow Oregon students to graduate without proving they can write or do math. She doesn’t want to talk about it.”
Just another Democrat aka Demoncrat that knows ignorant people are much more easily controlled.
oregon high school diplomas are now officially worth less than an equal amount of toilet paper ... hard-working high school graduates hurt the most ...
I bet Oregon doesn't have a significant amount of any of these..............
This is worth repeating so everyone can know some of the insanity that is going on in Oregon:
The HOMESCHOOLERS in Oregon are still required to do state testing (in 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th grades) and there are actual consequences if children test too low repeatedly. Homeschoolers were also not exempt from testing like the public school kids were the last year and I think the year before as well.
Just think about the logic of this: The government requires homeschoolers to test and if we test badly we can be placed under the authority of the school district, where testing and standards don’t matter or exist. Wha——??
Idiocy. But totally in line with the ante-bellum Democrat belief that one needed to keep the blacks/slaves ignorant and uneducated.
Appropriate for a state that welcomed an autonomous zone of misfits, America-haters, commies, and black revolutionaries.
“It hasn’t been for 50 years.Their demonstrated skills standards are closer to 5th grade.
But I have to wonder about why the Hispanics rate three descriptors, “Latino, Latina, Latinx” while the other colored students only rate one. The words Negro and Negress are available as are brave and squaw—wonder why they didn’t use them?
Bachelor of Arts in Education, if Antifa is any measure.
Oregon was pretty good at stratifying different levels of capability, when I was in school. Pretty much a three-tiered system for language, math, and science.
‘...an Oregon high school diploma will be no guarantee that the student who earned it can read, write or do math at a high school level.’
but what does the state consider math at the high school level to be...? Algebra, Plane Geometry, trigonometry...? none of those are necessary to successfully make a living...being proficient at fortified arithmetic should suffice...
as far as reading and writing...? now we’ve got an issue, if a student is deficient in either or both...I would say the ability to read Hawthorne, Dickens, Melville and Faulkner, and write a concise essay regarding thematic and structural elements, or to take a technical writing and being able to write a comprehensive report on its integral substance should suffice...
All those dead white guys don’t matter..........................
But they know how to pick the democrat face for elective office out of a photo lineup. Mission accomplished. The less educated the better. This also explains the push for more and more uneducated “immigrants,” who have also never heard of a Constitution.
Guess employers will have test the applicants.
“The reason—back in the day fifth grade was where you were expected to master fractions.”
Fractions are the first step into the abstract. 85 IQ is incapable of abstract thinking. Absolutely incapable.
3/5 x 1/4? 2/3 divided by 1/2? Even least common denominator is beyond their cognitive capacity.
Some you can teach a rote formula to. But they never understand.
FYI: I witnessed a full semester of 5th grade teaching when things were all remote.
The stupid of children of color is sobering. And scary.
Yeah, there’s stupid white and Asian kids. But they are a small minority. They are a large majority of kids of color.
Equal learning standards for all, equal no learning standards AT all. POS democrats do not care about children or education. Keep the masses dumb & keep the democrats in. I drove through Eastern Oregon last week & many American & Trump flags flying. I have conservative friends on the Western side of the State also, still not enough voices (I won’t say votes because, well you know!) to keep democrats from forcing their agenda on all.
Good luck with these kids working at a place serving pie. "I'll have 2/3rds of that pie." Gets a puzzled look "Huh?". Total price is $15.25, and you pay with a $20 bill and a quarter coin. Gets a puzzled look "Huh?". Can't make proper change. Young workers are so stupid now.
Fractions are the first step into the abstract...
Nowadays, concepts are introduced, but only rarely mastered. I’ve subbed in 2nd grade classes were the math lesson was introducing fractions to children who could not successfully add. Maybe 20 % of 8th graders actually can do simple multiplication without the aid of a calculator (I may be overestimating the %). They are never forced to learn their times tables. Imagine dealing with lowest common denominator or greatest common factor without having times tables in your head
I am not talking about an inner city school, but a school that is at least 90% white A method of teaching math that was successful for more than a century was abandoned in favor of methods that consistency yield much poorer results.
For the smart kids, method doesn’t matter.
They just get it. It unfolds as an image in their brain and it’s innate.
The problem is they have to share a classroom and curriculum with 22 retards.
It’s probably the greatest failure of the education infrastructure.
They could have been somebody.
Right on all points.
