75% of students failing the Florida Fcat write score.
Forums › General Discussion › 75% of students failing the Florida Fcat write score.-
The department of education doesnt really know what to do. They are thinking about bumping up the scores because they graded them too strictly.
The parents are saying stop giving the students such high standards, but the colleges of Florida the high standards and just right. What is your thought on this? I'm glad I didn't have to do the writing test this year. But I think they should do something in between for the write scores, they were pretty easy,but now they seem to hard. I got a friend who has an A in English Honors who got a 2 on the write score. -
In 1996 I moved from CA to FL. My daughter, who was in kindergarten was so far ahead that she was bored!! In 2000 we moved from FL to CO. At that time she was in 4th grade. When she started out in CO they had her in special Ed. Classes because she was so far behind. So, my thoughts are that FL needs to Raise their standards and TEACH kids what they need to know.
Btw-we were in the Tampa-St. Pete area. -

Good point. But they shouldn't do it so fast. Or at least they need to prepare us better. As the Fcats got harder I saw no improvement in the quality/quantity I What learned.In 1996 I moved from CA to FL. My daughter, who was in kindergarten was so far ahead that she was bored!!

There is a documentary called waiting for superman that addresses a lot of the issues with New York's failing education system. I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in the many deficiencies of American public education.

True statement. Districts need to reevaluate what is being taught. Then a new curriculum needs to be put in place. Once in place for a year or more then they need to make the state test prove that the teachers are teaching.
Basically, the FCAT needs to prove students meet standards that will get them into the college of their choice. However, students need schools that teach them what they need to know. And that is the issue. Students are not learning what needs to be learned to meet state requirements. -

Haha i think that greatly depends on the college you go to. All the gen-eds i had to go to at my WASC certified art college were way easier than my AP classes senior year of highschool. I got my BFA and dont feel any smarter than i was before i went there but i do feel wiser. Honestly its not that hard to get a bachelors degree in CA.Mι⚡⚡ㄗɪⱥƶƶɑ💋 wrote:

Just saying I'm in English honors and I have a 99% but I really didn't have to do much work at all to get that grade especially when it comes to writing and I think that's partially why it's tough when FCATs come around. Lucky for me I didn't have FCAT writes this year.

My school district is kinda the opposite. They have the highest expectations for you and demand so much it's over the top. They treat it like you do nothing but go home after school and study/do homework. They are constantly riding you about bad grades.
The funny part? They wonder why so many kids go to the counselor about stress. They wondered why the bulk of my last school year was spent in the nurse's office having anxiety attacks. They wonder why so many kids do drugs, but then just brush it off when kids claim it relieves stress. They worry so much about the test scores. But then PSSAs come around and I breeze through those things. I'm failing 2 classes right now, but according to my test scores on both my PSSAs and IOWAs I should be a whole grade year ahead.I got the 98th or 99th percentile. Sorry. That was a rant. -

I Passed fcat everytime since elementary, everyone that I knew that didn't pass( even in highschool) Christmas tree'd it so they could sleep, talk, or because they didn't care. Actually in elementary the teacher would give you candy when you were done, so alot of kids Christmas tree'd it.

Easy to complain about teachers, when their coming out of the same school system you're complaining about. Blind leading the blind situation. The rich stay rich, if everybody is dumber than them. Glad people in the states are finally seeing, what te rest of the world has been saying for years!

Thi is what happens when you have the worst public schooling system in the country. Florida loves their low/nonexistent taxes, but your children pay the price. If that doc was hating on ny pub schools ( some of the best in the country ), i wonder what they would have done if thy looked at the other states

As a teacher myself I can't stand our victim mentality. It's always someone else's fault for our own failure. It's the teachers, the government, the parents, it's the students, it's society! It's never my fault! Take control of your own education, read books instead of watching tv or surfing the Internet. Do something and stop whining.

Suring the web can be educational and while I don't know you I can say that most teachers in my school expect way too much but then hardly teach us. I have one that just has us go to a website link and skim it for the answers to the worksheet. Please refer to my previous rant.As a teacher myself I can't stand our victim mentality.

I don't know your teaching style, but please, take a second, read my rant, and then see if you can relate
Sincerely,
A student who has only learned something in social studies and English this year. -
American pre college education is crap, but your colleges are second to none.

The teenage brain hasn't fully developed its frontal cortex. You're hormones are causing a seemingly normal reponse to rules, limits, and expectations. An adult is more able to determine the importance of higher expectations. I treat my students as if they were my children. I have high expectations because without them teenagers will do the very least to get by. And listen, teachers don't teach they create environments for students to learn. Its not the teachers responsibility to make you learn, it's your responsibly to take advantage of any learning opportunity. If you aren't taking advantage of it, there are millions of children around the world that would give anything for the opportunity that you have.

I read that around 47% of people living in Detroit are technically illiterate... I kinda couldnt believe it. So I researched further. I found countless sources.. Kinda made me rethink current American society a bit.
