4. Everyone needs to read the company's statement!

Here is why:

The answer is a classic circular response, another words, they have no answer.

Here is the expected outcome, young people will not develop critical thinking skills when class time is spent learning how to answer questions on a test. Period!

The truth is, what passes as an education department is not about education at all, but conditioning for group think. These people must think the general public are idiots, maybe useful idiots at best. We need leaders in an education department that are about learning and developing young minds. These people who want bragging rights relating to high test scores at the next international conference can take a long walk on a short ruler.

The state of New York and everyone else in this country needs to wake up...
