As a further update... It's a well know fact that the Teachers Union hates standardized testing (proficiency exams) for students. (Because it shows what the students have really learned and how well the teachers are or are not teaching). Since they were one of Murphy's biggest campaign contributors we just learned what those contributions cost. Gov Murphy last week signed into law a law axing 4 state exams for high school students, abolishing 4 of the most difficult tests. Algebra II, Geometry, as well as English in both the ninth and eleventh grades. Only the Algebra I and 10th grade English tests remain - for now.
Oh, and to cut the time for the last two tests by 25%, reduce the weight of the exams in teachers evaluations.... And lower high school graduation requirements. So where before a passing score was 60%, now it's going to be 50%.
So let me put this into perspective. Instead of raising the level of the students, Gov Murphy is actually lowering it and by doing so rewarding the inferior teachers that should be fired. Gotta love how the Dems think. Dumb students = more on welfare = more votes. And we, the taxpayers, get to pay some of the highest taxes in the NATION for this bull$hit!!
