It was only a matter of time...so-called standardized testing may be curtailed next year in schools statewide, if Bevvie has her way.Raleigh News & Observer:
In her budget, Gov. Beverly Perdue proposed dumping tests not required for high school graduation or by federal law.
The Senate took up the theme, and gave detailed list of tests to eliminate. Five high school subject tests would go -- algebra II, geometry, chemistry, physics, and physical science -- along with a computer skills tests given in the eighth grade; so would tests for high school students who enter ninth grade without scores on previous tests that show they can read and do math at grade level.
Stay tuned...
E.C. :)
