[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools dabbling in the same cess pool of standardized testing along with their public school brethen. I'm shocked. What's happened since my days of private school education in the 60s? Sounds like the schools are all the same.[/quote] The diff is that in public the entire years' curriculum is geared towards learning ONLY what is on the test whereas in private they choose the curriculum they all intellectually support as teachers and then hold their breath that the ERB scores reflect that the kids are meeting parental expectations. And therein lies the change: parents today expect their kids to be perfect at everything , nothing less than 99th% will do, and what stanine, please? Parents today are obsessed with perfection and so the private schools test prep. Sad, yes.[/quote]
