easymo, I can't believe you made fun of the poor kid. Look at my reply in that forum.

Nod is what, 15? 16? You're right, Easymo, it's tacky, but not as tacky as you usually are when you refer to Arabs as "ragheads" .... After glimpsing that racist side of you I was somewhat relieved when you refered to me as a "squirrel." After all, I have no respect for you, so I'm thankful you labeled me an advesary.

lol and it's not tacky to write a big long story poking fun at a man who died a slow painful death trapped in a windshield. But hey! don't kid around with a 15 year old! As if a 15 yr old guy is fragile.

The tender side of elfy comes out.

Kids get 'abysmal' grade in history High school
seniors don't know basics

By Tamara Henry
USA TODAY

WASHINGTON -- Most U.S. high school seniors have a poor grasp of the
nation's history, and their knowledge hasn't improved in seven years, says a
Department of Education report out Thursday.

At a time when the United States is at war in Afghanistan and under terrorist
threat, seniors' ''truly abysmal scores'' on the 2001 U.S. History Report Card
are alarming, said Diane Ravitch, historian and education professor at New
York University and a member of the test's governing board. It's especially
grim considering how close these students are to voting age, she said.

''Our ability to defend -- intelligently and thoughtfully -- what we as a nation
hold dear depends on our knowledge and understanding of what we hold dear,''
Ravitch said during the presentation of the report. ''That can only be achieved
through learning the history we share, and clearly, far too many high school
seniors have not learned even a modest part of it.''

Performance on the exam was scored as basic, proficient (at grade level) or
advanced; ideally, all students should perform at grade level or better. Education
Secretary Rod Paige defined ''basic'' as ''the bottom of the achievement
ladder.''

On the test:

* 57% of seniors could not perform even at the basic level.

* 32% performed at the basic level.

* 10% performed grade-level work, and 1% were advanced or superior.

Scores among seniors were essentially the same as in 1994, when this version
of the test was first given.

''This is unacceptable,'' Paige said. ''History is a critical part of our nation's
school curriculum. It is through history that we understand our past and
contemplate our future.''

Unqualified teachers are cited as one reason for the poor performance.
Education Department statistics show 54% of junior and senior high school
students in 1996 were taught history by teachers who neither majored nor
minored in the subject, and a new study soon to be released shows similar
results. The only subject worse than history is physical science, where 56% of
students have teachers out of field.

The federally mandated test was administered to 29,000 fourth-, eighth- and
12th-graders at 1,100 public and private schools. Fourth- and eighth-grade
students did better than seniors, but not by much:

* 18% of fourth-graders performed at grade level or above in 2001, 49%
performed at basic and 33% below. In 1994, 17% were at grade level or above,
47% at basic and 36% below.

* 17% of eighth-graders were at or above grade level, 48% at basic and 36%
below in 2001. In 1994, 14% were at grade level or above, 48% at basic, 39%
below.

* In fourth grade, both white and black students had higher average scores in
2001 than in 1994. Black students' scores improved more than whites'.

* The average score for senior Hispanic students improved over 1994,
narrowing the gap with whites.

Lawdy... I hope the Ivy League English Composition teachers have a sense of humor, especially with respect to spelling.

Must be pretty easy to get into the IL now.

Well, maybe he's not going as a student. They need guys to sweep up at ILU's just like everywhere else.

I think it's tackier to pick on a 15 year old than to call an Arab terrorist a RagHead

Rip, until you find out where those stats are coming from, I wouldn't rely on them to be very representative of more than 10% of our nation's high school students.

I know some of you guys watch Fox news, and how the "binge drinking" thing was on there a couple months ago.... I never got to fill out that poll. None of my friends ever did.

Just remember, if they are looking to get certain statistics... they will, but they won't be a realistic representation of anything larger than the population of Mandan, North Dakota.

*Sigh*

Our school district does much better than those numbers- much better. Of course, if it was printed in USA Today it must be true...

Consider this for a while, though... what does state standardized testing test? Math and English. If your school is being judged by how well you compete with other schools on English and Math, guess where the bulk of the attention of a school goes?

Yup, everytime some idiot waves a paper like that in front of me I want to puke.
