I think that it's crazy how everyone wants *this* to be the bottom line, yet are unwilling to spend *that* to get it.
So, let me get this right (because it's like this here in VA, too), in order for this school to be accredited and stay open, I have to get my students to pass a test. Now, you won't give me the funding needed to hire the teachers who are qualified enough to teach the students the lessons they need to pass the test to keep your job up and running so you can keep our school up and running getting the test scores you need, but you'll get everybody to come check out test scores because, and I quote, 'we think they are cheating due to the number of excessive erasure marks'.
How does that work? What am I, as a teacher who wants to see these kids have an education, supposed to do? This is why we need a total reset when it comes to schooling.
