"When a newspaper headline proclaims half of the children at a school are below average on a test, no one stops to think that’s what average means.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, speaking about math illiteracy.

I thoght the problem was that nobody knew what a test was.
Maybe this is why every child is left behind.
Believe me, if there's one thing these kids know, it's what a test is. It's what learning is that they dont know anymore.
did you take that image? Fantastic.
I wish I had, but I didnt. It was someone on Flicker whose address I lost.
