quote for the day

clowns to the left of me...
"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.
