Out of curiosity, what objective metrics do public schools use to determine whether students have met the academic requirements for high school graduation?
By objective, I mean metrics that schools cannot independently change to improve their results, such as by lowering academic standards or graduation requirements.
I will take a look at your past reporting. I like to find criticism for anything I think is great because sometimes I’m wrong or can learn.
Honestly, I’m not sure what metric I could track for high school. Alpha uses the same Common Core standards as public schools. However, kids in Alpha are held to a much higher standard because they can only pass a grade with a 90% or greater. So an “A” on a grade-level test is probably the closest I can get to a metric. We also MAP test 3x per year and that compares him to his peers nationally and seeing the growth in the scores.
Look what the largest teachers union has to say about homeschooling. Hint: they want you to cover the costs, get a license to teach your own kids, and not allow your kids to participate in extracurricular activities. I’m sure they are just doing what is best for the children 😂
BREAKING: The nation's largest teachers union just scrubbed their 2025 handbook from their website.
Too bad for them, I saved the 434-page document. 👇🧵
@BearArmstead JFK faked his own death. He did this to protect his family from the mob. He lived a happy life and that is why they would not release the files until today.
54% of the American population reads at or below a 6th grade level.
Read that again.
More than half of American adults *can't read* at or below a sixth grade level.
Public school has been a failing model for generations.
#OTD in 2001, the @Indians came back from a 12-0 deficit to beat the Mariners, 15-14.
This tied the largest comeback on record with the 1911 Tigers and 1925 Athletics.
