Very interesting post. Growing up as
a child in the Texas public school system I felt like we were always
made to believe that we were a little extraordinary. We would spend
all year preparing for the TAAS, or the TAKS tests, and when we would
do well on it, we would be praised as if we just graduated high
school. We only ever heard the positive side of the story, which was
good scores on the standardized tests. No one ever told us that if
other kids around the country took the same test they would score
better than us. We were essentially given an over inflated sense of
accomplishment, which doesn't fix anything. Shortly after high
school as I was hearing all of these statistics I couldn't believe
it.
Great post! Great, organized and easy
to follow information.
