STOP THE MADNESS |
To test or not to test...
...that is not even a question in Florida.
From the Washington Post
And this is the high-stakes test that the "powers that be" evaluate teachers by and schools by...
...the results of which determine which teachers get fired, which schools get closed.
And not one of those sorry SOB's who "had the power" to stop this travesty was in the room when Michael "took" the test...
POSTSCRIPT: (EPITAPH?)
Wonder what happens when a student dies during the school term in Florida?
Does some pee-on have to go to the funeral home and administer the test prior to the visitation?
If Florida were really magnanimous, they would simply allow the school to enter next to the student's name...Passed. (Well, the student did "pass".)
No, on second thought, that policy would probably encourage those miscreant teachers (or their union hitmen) to "erase" failing students rather than simply change a few test answers to secure a passing grade.
Hey, as the adage goes...
There's more than one way to skin an FCAT!
