Cops, firemen, garbage men, brain surgeons, all need more money. I need more money. Teachers make enough, and the adminstators make too much for what they produce. We are also making a huge blunder with dumping all these standardized tests on the kids who don't have the foggiest idea why they have to read those meaningless paragraphs. It's difficult to keep up with all the catchy names.
Some testing goes on for a week.
After a while, in order to look good for the school stats, teachers no longer teach to educate but teach the standardized exams. This will be a disaster in the long run. I believe the SAT was the only test we had in high school, and that's for the college bound. People are now clamoring to do away with the SAT, accusing it of being, you guessed it, racist. Will black math month be next.
