[quote=Anonymous]The teachers do not exactly "blame the kids". It is typical of a bureaucracy, there is a problem, the people in the trenches know what the problem is and have many solutions (stated in the article) nobody listens to the teachers. Problem persists. 1. Kids need more time to review. 2. Make passing the test mandatory to move on. 3. Slow down the pace for students that have not master the material. 4. Get rid of trick question. 5. Make it a math test, not a reading test. I would add that there needs to be more help with homework since most parents can't help. Kids get problems wrong on hw and the test, don't understand why, are never asked to master the skills they don't understand and the teacher moves to the next section. [/quote]
