[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone thought about it that the[b] Assessment and the standardized test are biased [/b]against minority groups? It is like buying shoes. A certain brand of shoes are narrow and looks beautiful but it doesn't fit your feet well. You need to find a pair of shoes that fit your feet not shave your feet to fit the shoes. If the current education standards and methods consistently fail a large group of people, a different approach and standard should be created to fit the population. [/quote] How is the math assessment biased against black and Latinos? Math is the same EVERYWHERE around the world, and billions of kids, including those living in third-world countries, somehow master linear and -- gasp! - even quadratic equations. You are saying minority groups in this country need different standards? Well, let's drop math, English and science altogether and study rap. The grades will go through the roof.[/quote]
