Reminds me of crime rates deceasing in New York... because police are not reporting it. |
This was my first thought as well.

Yes, eliminating basic standards (what do you need now on the math regents to pass? 25%?) will do wonders for your graduation rates. | Its nuts! Passing rate in the math is very low because the math regents are very hard with lots of analytical questions. Pre Calc is thrown into Algebra 2 course! Math A and B or the Integrated series was fine. Its nuts that the core was introduced! Very good business for Math tutors!!

If lack of familiarity in standardized testing is the problem, a class can be given on it. That would be cheaper than a whole testing system.
I heard of a kid whose parents gave him practice SATs from when he was 6 or so. He knew the way it worked so well that he got a perfect score. He had a normal intelligence. |
There are Math and English standardized tests in the middle school (maybe from 5th grade? Don't remember).
