Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] from San Antonio, Texas
It's school time again, and here in Texas, the State public education system cannot seem to adopt a statewide test that they use for more than 5 years. School districts statewide have used the following tests: TABS, TEAMS, TAAS and now TAKS. Therefore, the San Antonio school districts have adopted a series of tests that better fit the public education in their city. The new instrument will be the TEXAS ASSESSMENT of COGNITIVE OPERATIONS (TACO). It will have a remedial version ( Soft TACO ), a regular version (Hard TACO) and an advanced version with many more pages (the GORDITA) . These tests will be graded on the standard bell curve (the TACO B ell) . Districts receiving the lowest scores will be put on probation with a Basic Education Appraisal - Not Satisfactory (BEANS) . A second low rating earns the dreaded Supplement Remediation Factor for Individualized Education Deficits (REFRIED BEANS). Schools still not hitting the mark will be required to spend an entire semester on the Wholesale Evaluation Network Classification of Historical Interactive Library Arts Development Assessment (WHOLE - ENCHILADA).
