You probably ahve heard of TASS (spelling?)
Houston, TX school board is currently under investigation for teaching to the TASS test. Seems 12 schools had outstanding overall test score for students a year or so ago. It was so wonderful to see the little darlings learning so much ion elementary school. The faculties and school board trustees all got big bonuses.

So these new found geniuses reached middle school and the hopes were so high till these same kids flunked BIG TIME the TASS test. Seems the teachers were teaching the test nothing else. Welcome to the future leaders of our country folks.

What is the old joke buy em books and buy em books and all the can do is eat the pencils. I sure hope McDonalds has plenty of positions available. I suppose using the full potential of the internet for these kids will be teaching them how to surf to www.playthemgamesonline.com
