We have actually lost sight of the value of a well-rounded, deep, and thorough education for the sake of education. Teach--> test. Direct pathway. Test--> more teaching to improve scores.Frederikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019408228349854129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-77424074040639342382010-12-10T13:59:41.286-06:002010-12-10T13:59:41.286-06:00I realize this is somewhat off-topic but the 2009 ...I realize this is somewhat off-topic but the 2009 PISA test scores were released recently and not surprisingly the U.S. scored in the lower half of all countries in math science and reading once again. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/07/education/07education.html?pagewanted=2<br /><br />In its current form, is the public education system in the U.S. even capable of improving student test scores on the PISA? If not, should we be trying to? Although the PISA provides some interesting information, I'm afraid the results are going to lead to school reform aimed at improving student test scores rather than improving the overall quality of education in the U.S. which would hopefully cause student test scores to improve as a result.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-9894336596642372112010-12-10T10:39:46.888-06:002010-12-10T10:39:46.888-06:00BBC commentator says: While some of the demonstra...BBC commentator says: While some of the demonstrators appear to be a break-away group...others just seem to be people "wanting a bit of a rumpus."Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-76529429013694226992010-12-10T10:36:40.626-06:002010-12-10T10:36:40.626-06:00Wouldn't it be interesting to see our own roya...Wouldn't it be interesting to see our own royal education couple - Bill and Melinda Gates of Microsoft - meet with a similar demonstration over their education privatization agenda.reality-based educatorhttp://perdidostreetschool.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
