Reason #127 to hate NCLB
States lowering their proficiency standards so that more schools can reach AYP. Who thought this was a good idea!? How is it good for the bar to pass abysmally easy tests to be set so low that it barely requires students to read?
I taught history in DC Public Schools for four years, and now I teach in Oakland Unified School District in Oakland, CA. And I try not to get burned in the process. Occasionally, I angst about life as a twenty-something, wish that I attended more rock shows, read, and make curried carrot soup .
