美国最高法院正在重新考虑是否需要禁止大学招生考虑种族因素。
美国宪法14修正案“平等保护条款”保证给予每一个人均等机会，而不是针对种族而区
别对待。我们相信，高校招生政策应该符合美国宪法14修正案的精神。很遗憾，亚裔学
生长期以来遭受严重的歧视。“全国高校的经验研究”（NSCE）项目进行了超过9000个
学生采访。普林斯顿大学社会学家托马斯Espenshade进行严格的回归分析，得出如下结
果，此此结果也被新闻媒体广泛引用：如果想被名牌大学录取，在其它条件类似的情况
下，亚裔学生 SAT 成绩必须要比白人高140分，比西班牙裔高280分，比黑人高450分（
总分1600）。(这个分析已经把性别，GPA， 体育等方面的因素考虑在内)
目前已经有41483参与投票，发出我们对大学招生中的种族歧视的抗议。我们
还需要9000多个投票，以显示我们的关注力度。请确保你的配偶，孩子，父母，朋友，
和所有同事能够参与这个请愿。 （如果您是永久居民或者公民， 请参与这项签名请愿

发帖数: 6923 | 42 sorry, yes, my first sentence didnot express in a right way. Averagely, good
christian schools have very caring teachers. Yes, some of the Christian
schools could be awful. I have seen one like that. The teachers just stood
in the middle of the playground and with their arms in front of their chest.
Half of the kids were sitting instead of playing. The flower in the garden
that for children's planting were completely dead. However, the chicken that
teachers raised for bringing home the eggs were... 阅读全帖 |

Mecklenburg. The educators went one by one to the politicians' office

It's no secret that U.S. students are horrible at geography and have been
for some time.
Nearly three-quarters of eighth-graders tested below proficient in geography
on the 2014 National Assessment of Educational Progress – also known as
the Nation's Report Card – and that's almost exactly the same result as in
1994.
It's a similar case when looking at prior NAEP assessments of fourth- and
12th-graders, approximately 80 percent of whom tested below ... 阅读全帖 |

新增的部分是 Constructed-response items 和 Performance tasks。
http://www.smarterbalanced.org/sample-items-and-performance-tas
Selected-response items prompt students to select one or more
responses for a set of options.
Technology-enhanced items take advantage of computer-based
administration to assess a deeper understanding of content
and skills than would otherwise be possible with traditional
item types. Technology-enhanced items capitalize on technology

students to read in elementary schools, but the most comprehensive federal
evaluation of the approach to date finds that it may hold back some of the
children it was originally designed to support.
First graders who received reading interventions actually did worse than
virtually identical peers who did not get the more target... 阅读全帖 |

BOSTON - It has been one of the most stubborn problems in education: With 50
states, 50 standards and 50 tests, how could anyone really know what
American students were learning, or how well?
At a dinner with colleagues in 2009, Mitchell Chester, Massachusetts's
commissioner of education, hatched what seemed like an obvious answer - a
national test based on the Common Core standards that almost every state had
recently adopted.
Now Dr. Chester finds himself in the awkward positio... 阅读全帖 |
