Want this too?

20 people want The schools to quit teaching to the test.

The kids aren't learning anything other than what is on the test - every year. They along with the teachers are under so much pressure to pass these tests regardless of their individual learning capabilities, that they learn little else and once these tests are over, they are basically done for the year. Texas is especially bad.

Not only that, by our school district doesn't allow for books to be brought home to do homework. I have talked with the Texas Ed. Assoc. and they explain that the books are paid for and each child should be provided with the opportunity to bring the books home.
