NYS will put the final nail in the coffin on the Regents Exams in 2027, so now schools won't have to worry about their pass rates to push the kids out the door on their 18th birthday, whether they can read and do addition and subtraction or not.
Of course for most kids, Public Schools in NY have been dogshit for 30 years, but the kind of bullshit they peddle these days to disguise the fact they teach nothing makes me want to puke. Read this "Portrait of a Graduate" nonsense as an example:
Transformation 1: Adopt the New York State Portrait of a Graduate
This is intended to create a shared understanding of the skills and knowledge that New York state public school graduates have mastered.
To earn a high school diploma, a student will have to demonstrate proficiency in each component of the portrait, meaning that they must be critical thinkers, innovative problem solvers, literate across all content areas, culturally competent, socially-emotionally competent, effective communicators and global citizens, according to the state.
What does it mean to be "culturally competent"? ??? ??? HTF do you measure this?
What a load of crap.
