My beef is with the fact that the NCLB tests determine funding/staffing.
And if a kid can't pass that test, what is done to provide them with extra help and attention? That's not what the testing is for. If it were, I could see some value to it.

No Child Left Behind Testing
by skeeter1 inaround the us, 6th graders (and alot of other grades) are preparing for this spring's standardized testing.
when "we" grew up, the standardized tests were straigh forward math problems.
the standardized math test is now only 16 questions long, but they are all long, drawn out word problems.

If it makes you feel any better Skeeter, I think the No Child Left Behind crap is just that. Crap. It's about making a ton of cash on testing, and passing the buck on actually trying to help our students succeed.

Like what? The Bible?
I'm pretty sure I stipulated fun fiction.

I just downloaded an HP Lovecraft collection to my Kindle.
Hey Kudra, have you ever read Wilkie Collins? I absolutely loved "The Woman in White". It has really stuck with me.

I'm currently reading "A Conspiracy of Paper" by David Liss. It's ok, but not nearly as good as "The Whiskey Rebels" which I just finished.
