Agree - but the problem so they have no thought (or care) on what to do to
increase the opportunity to learn. This type of thinking has taken us from the #1 educated country among all industrialized nations to approx 22nd in the world.

Let's just keep getting dumber and lowering expectations...

The soft racism of lowered standards.

I think it's time to call this hard racism. It isn't soft anymore.

I may think some things called racist aren't. I totally believe thinking

How does allowing low academic standards prevent racism for anyone?

Your conclusions are at odds with the actual reasoning. I don't understand why.

Soo a few questions….

Good questions. Billions of dollars have been thrown at the problem for the past

Can't disagree. The problem is how to get people to embrace traditional family

It’s really not even about religion though…

We’ll, step one… find out what is causing the low test scores…
Pretorian

But at some point you need to actually know how to do things. This would work

Not that I totally disagree with you but I know the thinking is more in-line with not having to lower to help

Define difficult circumstances. Low income? Single parent? Abusive father?

Doesn’t providing free access to practice test make way more sense than removing

Again, no disagreement. HOW do you do that? I think one way might to be to

This is seriously a good question, there has to be a way to line up incentives

Yes. It is basic 6 Sigma methodology and works. At least 50% of the voters will

I hear code words for lack of parental support

10/15/21 11:04am
Where is there a single lie there? That's common sense
Hotlanta
10/15/21 11:19am
The lie, IMO, comes from the inability for all students to meet a certain level
LeonMarek
10/15/21 11:49am
I don't totally disagree with you. I don't see that as a 'lie' per se.
Hotlanta

Biggest one I'm trying to focus on is (via my own statement):

the goal of k-12 should NOT be getting you to college. part of the problem right

Seems pretty racist to assume certain races can't do well on a test

I'm Native American and did well too. Imagine that. The notion we can't do well

I still think you should have been able to stand on a stool while testing

Minor leagues and development leagues are the real solution

Great idea, as long as students get the grades they earn, not the ones that are
