State Board of Ed to Vote on FCAT Scores

Sure hope the test scores are set high enough to be a news reporter! "The goal of raising the scores is to help ensure students are prepared for higher and a career and don't need remedial education in college." Higher what? Career what? Yea, all some people are concerned about is their kids passing! Doesn't matter that their kid turns out dumber than hell. It's like the recent comments from some students at Theodore Alabama high school I read the other day. Those kids can't even make a complete sentence, spell, or know the slightest thing about punctuation. Of course after reading their parents' comments, it's completely understandable. Set the test scores high. It's sickening to see these kids graduating just for attending school and learning nothing! Then you have the schools wanting more money every time you turn around which hasn't proven to help the students at all! All this is reeking havoc on the employers too. They're having to hire these uneducated kids without a clue about their REAL education or lack of. This is all a part of the "dumbing" down of America. That piece of paper (high school diploma) means nothing without an education to back it up!
