What's the problem?
Lower Marion has many rich families. That's kobe Bryant old neighborhood. The folks who live there tend to believe a certain mantra about academic prowess. Since others have figured out their weaknesses, they want to change the rules instead of learning to survive like the rest of us.

:yeshrug:Down with standardized testing. It is one of the dumbest advents in modern education.

So much class time dedicated to something so arbitrary.

I'm an immigrant. I'm in support of testings. The world is built upon testing. But as white Americans figured out they can't compete with others with testing, they try to stem the tide. Americans aren't nearly as competitive as they believe. Their imagination is one of the biggest lies ever told on this planet.

Standardized testing in America comes weighted with a ton of baggage, the most devastating of which is school funding being pulled if test scores
aren't at a certain level.

There is no such thing as a standardized education. For various reasons, curricula are different from area to area, and what is considered "standard" knowledge
varies greatly between social castes. Rather than letting teachers enrich students, all practical subjects have to be rushed through in preparation for tests on
things the children won't remember the next school year. Kids are being taught to take tests, not tested on their knowledge.

Mind you, other countries will steer children who don't perform well into the trades and other areas, pushing to enrich the scholars.
In America, EVERYTHING is weighted on how the worst children perform, making the entire subject matter border on remedial in order
for the less prepared children to keep up. "No child left behind" is a thing for a reason, and it is helping ruin the early to middle school system. To avoid
leaving anyone behind, we slow everyone down.
