As a technocrat it ticked me off big time. It also insults the education community. Lowering standards? Fuck no.

Classes should be run according to pace of each student. Smaller class sizes. Interactivity. Teaching the student how to teach themselves.


You do know that the standards were left to the states to do as they wished with it since they were the ones tasked in making the Standarized Tests, right?! Right?!

You get placed in classes not based on your intelegance, but what 1 test says, that is not fucking right. The NCLB test's misplaced me so many times. :palm:
Also, take away funding from poor schools, because the student don't preform well. Ya, that's totally gonna get them to work harder. :roll:

Omg, that was way freaky accurate....I literally gasped when I read my results.

Well, it got me completely wrong but then I wasn't exactly sure what it meant by "make you feel best". It's a colour, what does that even mean.

I imagine it relies on that things psychics do, saying something that sounds kind of specific but applies vaguely to most of the people reading in some way.
