[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the last ELA PARCC at Wilson, 
42% of the school was BELOW grade level.

Grade level is a really low standard.  Have you seen these tests?  
And yet, it's a good idea to put all these kids in a college level English class in 11th grade?  Many can't even read.  [/quote]

An elementary teacher should not be allowed to promote a student to the next grade level unless the student has demonstrated proficiency at the current level.

Why are these teachers just passing the buck?

And then we expect the high school teachers, who already have enough on their plate dealing with teenage kids whose hormones are all over the place, to work miracles?

If a rising 9th grader reads below at a 5th grade level, why do we expect the 9th grade English teacher to make up 3 for the last 3 years? why do we expect this 9th grader to perform at a 9th grade level?

And then we blame it all on systemic racism? Sure, that's part of the problem. But it's bullish*t to expect social engineering at the high school level to cure a problem that may have started at early childhood.
