    The governor was given a lot more power than originally intended for the position. I would like her and the education arm of the gov to roll back these asinine rules that only serve to stunt the educational growth of students.

    Book ban removal, removal of the absolutely racist and classist voucher system, removal of propaganda disguised as history curriculum, investing in the arts and sciences, paying teachers what they’re worth, using standardized testing to show where more focus is needed instead of where to make cuts, and so forth should absolutely be achievable and focused on

        Well, yes but also no. They made funding contingent on passing the testing instead of seeing an area that needs more resources given more

        We had standardized testing before, educators hated it, this is not in texas but a poorly run purportedly blue state full of nazis. We dropped everything to study for the tests, we used to skip the study periods and smoke weed, I and the non stupid stoners all aced them anyway. It’s geared towards the ignorant, as almost all of public school is, aside from fucking math which they do teach aggressively to those willing to learn it.

        No child left behind was all to cut inner city funding for schools. If their scores are not up, they get cut, their scores are always lower because the anti intellectual culture we got going on over here. Every republican bill is double speak. (Name of Bill,) * -x = Real name of bill.
