Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Oregon Becomes The Latest Blue State to Suspend All Tests of English and Math ProficiencyThey would define deviancy down. Again. They damaged students forever, and students will never recover -- New York calls this "the new normal" -- so they're just going to lower proficiency down to near-retard levels and give everyone their Participation Trophy and "social advancement." That's the euphemism for passing students who are actually failures and should be held back just to keep them in their social group (and to keep parents from noticing that "educators" are failing to educate).And that's what it's all about -- teachers protecting themselves from their education-destroying campaign to give themselves all vacations during covid. If students keep showing low scores, their schools will be put into receivership, teachers will be fired, and students will be allowed (I think) to seek alternative schooling. And we can't have that. So we'll just change the scores and give the teachers Educator of the Year awards. Teachers are scrambling to find alternatives to testing what students actually know -- alternatives to testing what teachers have actually taught. Again, this is no about protecting students. It is, as always, about protecting failing union teachers. And now Oregon has decided to go New York one better, and simply end proficiency testing altogether. Claiming it "harms students of color." Is there any mark of excellence or any field of rigor we will be allowed to retain? Will we just destroy all standards and end all competitive fields because they "harm students of color"? At what point do the "students of color" have to conform to general standards of achievement? Or will the standards of achievement always have to conform to "students of color's" abilities? Oh My God -- they weren't even being blocked from graduating. They were only being demanded to do extra work to correct the gaps in their abilities. You know -- like schools are supposed to do! But that's too much to demand of "students of color." Check out this word-salad of excuses and accusations from "Guadalupe Martinez Zapata:" Wow. She's straight-up saying that it's racist to expect that "students of color" can achieve proficiency in basic skills. So who are the real racists here? Simple reply: That's just white supremacy, straight-up. [Drazan] argued Oregon is chipping away at standards across the board, with state education officials mulling "equity grading" in lieu of the traditional A to F scale. "They are now moving forward with an agenda that says if you cheat, you can't be flunked. If you don't show up, you don't get a zero," she said. "They're not going to have homework that they grade because having homework somehow they view as being inequitable.""Equity grading." They need to hide from the public exactly how much blue governments and their teachers union shock troops damaged children. So just stop collecting the evidence. If you give students proficiency exams, then twice a year you will have big stories about how you have stunted children's learning forever, irreparably. If you just stop testing altogether, you just have one week of bad press. And you barely have that -- God knows the leftwing media which propagandized for school closures won't make a fuss! Advantage: Just cancelling all testing for students. Meanwhile, California has banned suspending students for "willful defiance" -- being intentionally disruptive and refusing to stop when a teacher demands it -- hoping that this will keep intentional disruptive students from dropping out. Because we want them in class keeping all other students from learning, of course. And the reason for tolerating intentional disruption...? Why, because punishing it harms students of color, of course! Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday signed a bill that will ban "willful defiance" suspensions for middle and high school students who demonstrate bad behavior, including breaking the dress code, talking back to a teacher or using their phone in class. The legislation Newsom signed into law, SB 274, also will prohibit the suspension and expulsion of students due to tardiness or truancy. Educators can still suspend students for more severe actions, such as physical violence, possession or use of drugs, theft or bullying. California already bans these suspensions permanently for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, and the new law expands the policy to middle and high schools.And yet teachers demanded that the schools close, causing these very students, who were already behind their peers, to suffer the greatest learning loss of all.

-- It really is. I'm not saying that jokingly, either. Knowing that "white supremacy" is their codeword for Western Civilization, it's absolutely true.

I recently saw a comedy skit where the basis was a handful of Generation Z kids inside one of those Escape Rooms. To get out they had to do really simple and everyday tasks... (read the time on a clock, put a fitted sheet on the bed, make a piece of toast in a toaster)....and, obviously, the joke was they couldn't do it. They didn't recognize a wall clock, they always sleep on the sofa, they didn't know what a toaster was etc.

++++ Yes, because it's an actual risk. Yes, some families out there - a lot of them - simply don't care about education. They don't matter to this point. *All* of the rest do care about it, and it is universal. Black mothers generally want their kids in good schools. Poor mothers. Rich mothers. Asian mothers. It's across the board. There is a reason why school choice measures - whatever they are - have a high degree of support among voters, and why they are blocked at every turn.

Some of these tests do have problems but you have to admit this is just doing your best to protect your politically aligned blue state education groups from scrutiny over their covid response, which frankly sucked and was certainly not based upon science.
If you are in a blue state, you need to exit the public school system at all costs. They are no longer even pretending to be worried about your kid's education.

There was a time that blacks had higher marital rates than whites and were nearly on par education wise with most rural whites, then FDR, Wilson and LBJ and the Great Society fixed that glitch.

They are just "grading on a curve". But there is no fundamental math or reading skills required.
I wonder if their is some Woke Indoctrination that actually is required. Like -- "whites have oppressed all the others, diversity is our strength", or "men can choose to be women, and can have and nurse babies". "America is an evil force in the world". There is some intense effort to instill those "core values" into every child, along with the grooming. Posted by: illiniwek at October 24, 2023 01:40 PM (Cus5s) 195
"So you don't put a test in front of a student and completely demoralize them..."
Where in the world did we ever get the idea that it should be the goal not to demoralize someone who is not prepared? In real life, you are prepared, or you are not. If you are not, it is demoralizing. Better to learn that in a school on a test than when the bridge your building collapses and kills you and everyone else.

232 >>Oregon has a surprisingly racist history. The state had Black Exclusion Laws in effect when they entered the Union.
A huge number of pioneers came from free and border states, and were also the ones driven into poverty in competition with slave labor: there were some slaves brought to the state but the Provisional government outlawed slave holding In the lead up to the Civil war, most of the settlers did not want to be part of the looming conflict that they had alread moved to avoid Posted by: Kindltot at October 24, 2023 01:46 PM (xhaym) And I had ancestors come to the US a few decades to a few years before the conflict and ended fighting in it.

Sounds to me that Oregon is making the argument that we don't need schools at all.
I mean, if they aren't going to test the kids to prove that they've learned something, why bother to have them learn anything at all? And if they don't need to learn anything, they don't need people to teach them nor a place in which to be taught. So just close the government schools and make the problem go away entirely.

185 As bad as this is, it is even worse when you consider how slack and undemanding most schools are anymore. Assignments handed in late with minimal or no penalty, work allowed to be redone, lowest grade from assignments thrown out, etc... I am amazed at what I have seen in my kids schools, and that included one supposedly rigorous charter school. As I recall in ancient times most assignment were not accepted late or if they were at was at huge markdown of at least 10% per day. And no parent dared challenge it for their spawn.

Posted by: Oregon Legislature at October 24, 2023 01:38 PM (gmo/4) I must admit, the teachers have always struck me as I have gone through life. In school, it was obvious some were completely useless. Others really loved teaching. Others did not like anyone (least of all kids) but liked the subject. In school, the proportion seemed about the same, but then you would run into Chem profs who obviously HATED having to teach (for example.) Useless History profs who were complete incompetents. Kindly, absent minded professors from whom I learned a lot. Really cool history profs who taught very well. Then I looked at the education majors and the proportion of cool/gifted/intelligent dropped like a rock. But even college profs who hated teaching were in no way as... entitled as a public school teacher who was useless at teaching.

the fun thing about the Oregon Teachers Standards and Practices commission that licenses teachers is that they are on the second revision of certification requirements in a decade, and are so dysfunctional they are still operating on the original certification template because their online system doesn't work and none of their workers actually can figure out how to do it live because they push was to make everything online.

Supporters of the bill say Black and Latino students are disproportionately affected by these suspensions. Research shows that these students are often the ones who suffer a reduced loss of learning and experience higher drop-out rates.
A"reduced loss" of something is a gain, right? I guess the LA Times writers were educated in a school like this. Posted by: mikeski at October 24, 2023 01:57 PM (22Ba0) 310

Brace yourself: TikTok is testing 15-minute videos TikTok confirmed that it's testing out 15-minute video uploads to TechCrunch on Monday, following reports from some users who had started receiving notifications about the new feature. Social media consultant Matt Navarra shared a screenshot from TikTok in a Threads post, with the title "Upload longer videos". "Upload videos up to 15 minutes long!" reads the notification. "Make sure your app is up-to-date, then try uploading from your app or desktop on tiktok dot com." TikTok has been slowly creeping up its video upload length for a while now. Originally home to 15 second videos, the app eventually increased this to a minute, then three minutes, and most recently 10 minutes in Feb. 2022.

"social advancement." That's the euphemism for passing students who are actually failures and should be held back just to keep them in their social group (and to keep parents from noticing that "educators" are failing to educate).
Case study: Nephew and niece, born three weeks apart. They're both 15. He goes to a small-town public school in Iowa, she goes to a Christian school in Kansas City. She got held back a grade while they worked for a few months figuring out her learning disability, he's sailed through the grades without a speedbump. And if it came down to an academic faceoff, I'd choose her. She has teachers that CARE and is turning into a lovely well-rounded individual, whereas he routinely gets benched for mouthing off to the baseball coach. I love them both, but she's going to come out ahead in life. (And before you say "But money!" Iowa just implemented ESAs, which the nephew qualifies for, but his parents won't switch him to the local Christian high school.)

For California, which has been circling the drain for decades, by all means don't suspend or expel those special students. Just concentrate them in one or two classrooms. Then mark them proficient for literature for LARPing Lord of the Flies. And concentrating them in one or two classrooms will prep them for their eventual time in the California Penal System.

A story to give you some perspective on how all of this actually plays out in blue states:
When I lived in Los Angeles 20 years ago, everybody we met asked if me and my wife were planning to send our kids to public school. We didn't have any kids, we explained, but we eventually hoped to. "When you do, DON'T send your kids to public school!" was the consistent message we got from EVERYBODY. These weren't rich people telling us this -- these were middle and working class people. The overwhelming consensus from everybody was that public schools were useless and sending your kids to one was tantamount to child abuse. Every family that cared about their kids' education sent their kids to private school, no matter what their income level or how much they had to scrimp and save to afford it. The impression I got was that "public schools" in blue states are the equivalent of "public transportation" in much of the rest of the country -- the choice of last resort, something only used by people who literally have no other option. The notion that a "public school" might be high quality was an alien concept. And again, this was 20 years ago -- I imagine it's much worse now.

Schenectady, NY is ~70% white and ~10% black. So if no eighth grader who took the math test scored as proficient. That means White kids can't do eighth grader math.
I am not saying there isn't problems in the black community. But for all you people that acted like this was a "black thing" welcome to the real world. Teachers as a group aren't interested in educating Kids. Don't fall for press on that "good teacher" that really cares. They want your kids illiterate and innumerate, then they will blame a lack of money. But I'm telling you right now, no matter how much money you give them it won't get better.
