[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen more than a few public school districts go down the tubes in less than 5 years time, and definitely by 10 years time. They cut subjects, extracurricular stuff, good teachers take early retirement or move. No Child Left Behind did a doozy on quality with new standardized testing in english and math. And Common Core did it again, this time linking its subscription to federal funds if avg test scores go up. Then some places, incl MCps, introduced their own ANNual tracking testing (3-4 MAP/yr) so they couldn’t teach to the test better before the state test in MAy Thank goodness Masaachusetts did not subscribe, where we live now. But I would never go to the out of state public school today that I graduated from in the 1990s. It is a ghost of the top, we’ll-rounded education it used to be. [/quote] Down the tubes, I tell you. DOWN THE TUBES!!!! I'm not sure how this is relevant to the OP, though.[/quote]
