@WaveringWaldo ...all for the sake of higher test scores that only measure one aspect of learning, memorization

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@WaveringWaldo instead they are forced to put some kids in programs that keep them from testing and having access to education opportunities

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

Don't punish the students. Revise the system! Don't let them take the easy way out of properly educating kids!!http://t.co/pB5lNNNaEP

This Punishes schools and individuals while not acknowledging some accomplishments

@David4Disciplin how is one hour at the end of the day with a bunch of students wanting the same attention and help

[Ralph Waldo Emerson @WaveringWaldo]

@ravDITCHnclb Excellent source. Teachers must consider students' unique, individual abilities to guide them -not force them- to achieve!

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin focusing on testing makes it difficult for teachers to cater toward students individual needs

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin they spend nine hours doing the same amount of work as their peers,but if they need extra help that would require more time

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin what about those who can't afford tutoring or do not have the time to go to teachers for extra help

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin I am aware of that, however for those whos disabilities inhibit their math and science abilities their test scores suffer

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin *or less qualified

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin care to elaborate? If they are already under qualified then how would they get the jobs

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin #studentsshouldshareopinions #studentshaveasay

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin besides how can one rest and persue their dreams if they are unable to keep up with the rigorous testing

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin students would replace them not the disabled

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin if those previous jobs were held by successful students then it is more likely that the next generation of successful...

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

@David4Disciplin how do students gaining higher level jobs help the disabled?

[Diane Ravitch @ravDITCHnclb]

Every child learns and behaves differently. NCLB can't expect every student to perform the same
