[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wait...previously everyone complained about too much testing, having teachers teach to the test, etc. But now that Starr has called for a 3 year moratorium, people are complaining about that?

You do realize that if Starr called for the continuation of testing, you would complain about that, right? Seriously, this guy can't win no matter what he does.[/quote]

[quote]So true.[/quote]

Some guys can't win no matter what they do (e.g., Romney, Ryan, and the Governor of Texas)?  Why?

1.    Eliminate old curriculum.  
2.    Roll out new curriculum 2.0
3.    Teachers can't teach new curriculum 2.0 (both teacher and student require to be taught the curriculum 2.0)
4.    Teachers have no tools to assess students under curriculum 2.0
5.    Students are in abeyance without evaluations or assessments
6.    Ban subject advancement and acceleration
7.    Eliminate math pathways
6.    Students in Grades to 1 to 3 in a lurch and many forced to repeat last year's subject material
7.    Elimnate old student grading system
8.    Roll out new student grading system
9.    Teachers, students and parents don't understand new student grading system
10.  Use surplus funds in the system to give relatively well paid teachers raises (x2) in an economic envoronment of major cuts across the board (including students)
11.  As a ground swell rises in MCPS of stagnant progress in the education of the children/students ...
12.  Rolls out a new recommendation:  3-year moratorium on standardized testing in the County
13.  Why test the students, teachers or the Superintendent to understand how well they are all doing their jobs.  After all that not what education is about.

Yes, indeed. Some guys can't win no matter what they do.  That's why they get booted out at the end of the day.
