New York will change what it takes for students to reach “proficiency” on state math and English language arts tests, calling last year’s lower scores the “new normal.”

A scoring committee that reports to the Board of Regents said Monday that they must take into account the results of last year’s tests for students in grades three through eight to determine whether schools are showing improvement from year to year. On Thursday, the committee wanted to clarify that they must also reset scores because the tests will have new performance standards.

Mike Rivero: Education is failing our students, teaching gender pronouns, critical race theory, and how to twerk, instead of math, science, literature, etc. So to save face, they just lower the testing standards so they can claim education is working!

Remember when students were failing school, and it was them or their parents who were to blame? Of course, that was before "progressive, smart, caring" people took over the public schools.

The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs

Stop critcizing twerking! I have an eight year old daughter who identifies as a twenty-two year old stripper named Celestia. We are hoping my employer's insurance will pay for breast enhancement surgery, so she can support us and finally feel good about herself.

I had a 14-year-old who -- for a short while -- identified as the-girl- who-knows-everything-while-her-parents-know-nothing. She got wonderfully over it, thank God.

Too late, you should have made insurance pay for Transition-to-PHD implant. I think Pfizer sells a kit...
