There is a proposed rule to manipulate accreditation. Please let your congressional representatives know know this is not ok.
Please watch this IG video as he explains it really well. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdZdtK0txXn/?stkn=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
I'm not an education expert, and I'm using a translation tool for this as well.
I'm from a non-English-speaking country, but when I look at subreddits of school education in English-speaking countries, it seems like rote memorization is treated as something bad.
Why is rote memorization so often viewed negatively?
Especially as a non-English-speaking person, there are times when I think that rote memorization is the only way to learn English spelling and grammar.
For example, after learning that "to make a word past tense, you add 'ed'," words like "taught" appear, and the grammar and spelling are just too confusing.
If you had to explain the history of each word every time you encountered one like that, it feels like you'd never finish studying. (It might be fun to learn as a hobby, but it would take too much time to be part of compulsory education.)
The kid is super intelligent, got a 36/36 on their ACT and 1520 on their SAT (first and only try). They've got multiple AP courses, which all but 1 they passed with 4 and 5s. Their GPA is pretty high.
They've just had it with school policies, and, I think secretly, AP English Lit is harder than they anticipated, they're sitting at a 25% right now. Where as all their other subjects, such as AP precalc, is at 85% and higher.
I'm not originally from the US, this is my first child through the US educational system, and I have no spouse to talk things over with. So I'm just looking for outside advice here.
The kid says they'll get their GED, and then go to college next year, saying colleges won't mind the GED and just look at the ACT/SAT scores. I'm not so sure. They're not looking to go to any fancy colleges, but a decent in state college.
Will they be severely disadvantaged if they do drop out and get their GED? If it's the English Lit class that's frustrating them, can they "drop down" to an easier English class so they can graduate? I have contacted the school, but they've not gotten back to me, and I'm just looking for some thoughts and feedback.
Thanks!
Edit: after writing this, I thought I'd call a local 4 year college and ask if they accept GEDs on the same level as high school diplomas. At this college, anything over 3.0 GPA = automatic admission. And if they keep their good GPA, they can qualify for up to 50% of the annual tuition in scholarships from the school alone. They can not do that with a GED. I will have a chat with them when they get home from school.
Would like to anticipate what problems could come up among teachers and principals when using the application.
These people are most likely from rural areas . The principal will have a view of teachers progress while the teacher would completing her targets.
Hello. to start with im not american, which means i dont know anything at all about reading grade levels though, i was curious about how books are graded by their complexit and some examples of them, more specifically about books that are considerer for high schoolers and why they classified as that. Theres not a big reason behind of it but to compare the difference between my country and USA in literacy after my country ranked 78th in the pisa test.
Hey, I’m working on legislation related to AI in education, and I’m looking for examples of this technology going wrong. Really big awful horror stories, frustrating little things that are making education more difficult, incorrect test results, etc., whatever you’ve got would be greatly appreciated. I’m in California, so it would be extra helpful if your story took place in the state of California. Thanks so much!
Aimed at the group owned by Advetec. I am really concerned about the educational approach. All the energy is towards results - most A's per student - and little toward developing the human being. Teachers and students get trampled in this rush to momentry fame and profit.
