    No Test for teachers, too many failing

    I find this expected as the teachers they are testing came up through the same system. Sad.

    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    Yeah, I heard about that a day or two ago. Having worked as a "sub" and being the son of an elementary school teacher (who still corrects my grammar!), the idea that there are teachers out there that CAN'T teach the proper use of the English language.

    Of course, there are those people that, no matter how hard the teachers try, choose to ignore their lessons. As a result, their inability to speak (or behave) in a coordinated and cohesive manner will forever hold them back.

    With how messed up the education system is in America I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't shit straight, not to mention read straight.

    New York education officials are poised to scrap a test designed to measure the reading and writing skills of people trying to become teachers, in part because an outsized percentage of black and Hispanic candidates were failing it.
    That's the TEST'S fault?

    The reformers believe tests like New York's Academic Literacy Skills Test can serve to weed out aspiring teachers who aren't strong students.
    Ummm... isn't that what a TEST is for?

    Kinda like the term "assault weapon". Assault is a verb, not an adjective. But, what else would you expect from uneducated touchy-feely white guilt ridden liberal democrat idiots?
