I fail to see the "bright side" of this
By Jeremy | January 4, 2007
"On the bright side, New York ranked slightly higher than the national average on the federal fourth-grade reading test, with 33 percent deemed proficient, compared with 29.8 percent nationally. On the eighth-grade math exam, 30.8 percent of New Yorkers passed, compared to 28.5 percent nationally."Story. So 67% of New York City's 4th graders aren't reading at grade level and 69.2% fail standardized math tests and we call that the "bright side" of the story? Related From the New York Post:
Barely one-third of eighth-graders in New York City can read and do math at grade level, and only half of sixth-graders are proficient in either subject. Middle-school teachers flee their jobs at higher rates than those in elementary and high schools; parental involvement plummets in these key years; and there is an uptick in bullying and violence. The steady decline in student achievement in middle schools has been dubbed a "crisis" by the city and the state's top educators. This series explores how educators in the city are responding to the 240,000 or so city students caught in the middle."Teachers Taking Wrong 'Train': Courses Short-Change Middle-School Ed."
