Teacher Bees probably already know about this one, but I just became aware of it today. So a new standardized test gives you credit for getting the answer wrong as long as you explain how you came to that answer. I could say 3X4=5, give some hogwash statement on how I got that answer, and it would be graded as correct. This is called “Fuzzy Math” and it is a real thing. WHAT???! I can name many examples of the dumbing down of America but this one definitely takes the cake. Thoughts, anyone?

This is literally why i stopped going to school for teaching.. I was told if you have a child who is not passing his spelling tests you have to give him easier words so he wont feel bad about coming to school and failinghis tests… 

i am sooo disapointed in the public school systems..
