People with bachelor degrees can't pass that test

[General of Darkness]

Impressive.

And y'all probably think we're all toothless barefoot hillbillies!

[Hypertiger]

Yes but you all are still ignorant of Truth.

As long as you all are...Those that are not will rule you all below with lies you are trained to believe and accept as Truth.

So you can pass the tests and prove you are ignorant of Truth to the best of your ability.

Then you are a useful idiot.

A fundable asset.

[Hypertiger]

Bachelor degrees are a secondary consideration.

Your golf game might matter more in the end.

[Hypertiger]

Last rich daddy's kid I schooled said masters degrees are the minimum now to consider yourself a superior form of life at the entry level.

I'll answer those test questions, but you'll need to pay me for each answer in advance via PayPal. I don't accept personal checks or money orders. :)

Grade 8 was and still is the maximum needed to perform hillbilly duty.

I think they require shoes made in China these days at most.

Parse those words for 20 :)

Some of us live right in the heart of Truth, kitty.

"The emphasis in education has shifted from fostering academic and personal growth, in both students and teachers, to demanding uniformity and conformity. Raising students’ test scores on standardized tests is now the only goal, and in order to achieve it, the creativity, flexibility, and spontaneity that create authentic learning environments have been eliminated.

Everything I loved about teaching is extinct.
Curriculum is mandated. Minutes spent teaching subjects are audited. Schedules are dictated by administrators. The classroom teacher is no longer trusted or in control of what, when, or how she teaches. Research indicates that employees are most productive and happy when given autonomy over time, technique, task, and teammates. But we now have no control over any of that. No wonder teacher burnout and turnover are at an all-time high."

"But I care more about the people my students become than about the scores on the tests they take. Our mission is to create “lifelong learners,” which means getting children excited about—and engaged in—their learning. But how can this happen when teachers are discouraged from teaching creatively? More and more, we are being asked to administer paper-and-pencil tasks, multiple-choice tests that can be graded by a computer, and skill-and-drill assignments that don’t require or reflect higher-level thinking. Authentic literature has been replaced by dry, uninteresting reading text, and teachers are being forced to do away with constructive projects in order to fit in all those mandated instructional minutes and assessments."

There are very few decent teachers left. Just in the past 10 years of so there has been a dramatic shift in what they do and how they do it. The newer younger teachers are stupid as fuck, not even book smart teaching the kids these days. I could go on but it's unnecessary as we all know.

[Atocha]

I failed...

[Grog]

Number 6 Civil and Number 6 Arithmetic are things they don't want the masses knowing the answers to nowadays. :P
