[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, 23:30, here's one example:

[b]A bunch of third graders get to third grade and they can hardly read (usually means "comprehend") at a first grade level[/b]. Instead of teachers going back to get these kids the basics they need, the students have test prep after test prep thrown at them. They are given "strategies" instead of just being taught the things they need to learn. This is not because teachers are terrible, but it is because they are desperate.

It's just over-simplifying today's classrooms to say that if the curricula were great and everyone was doing what they should be doing, teaching to the test wouldn't exist.[/quote]

Note what I highlighted.  What that represents is failure at pre-K, K, 1st and 2nd that got them to not being able to read at a 3rd grade level by third grade.  Like I said, they should have had an appropriate curriculum at all those prior grades (and ALL grades for that matter), otherwise they wouldn't be so far out of kilter by third grade.

Get it now?[/quote]
