The implementation of 'standardized testing' or whatever it is called has eliminated any meaningful teaching and learning. This is mandated by Federal and State laws that government has no business in.
Now teacher's and student's time is consumed by 'teaching to the test' and useful instruction in traditional subjects is lost.
Whatever happened to having to pass certain subjects to be able to move to the next grade or graduate ?
This whole system is just dead wrong, but the public isn't involved enough in their kid's education to get outraged and demand change.
Rant over again,
