Standardized Testing Results are IN!

Have you ever wondered just how good the education system is?

We hear a lot about teachers, and contracts, and unions and how hard they work….   but where are the results?

On the flip side… we wonder… how effective are Standardized tests?  Are they a true representation of direct teaching results?

Are the kids to blame for not getting it?  Are the schools to blame for trying hard enough?

Results for the last round of tests in Ontario were recently released.  And the results do not look good.

The big headline read:   “Up to half of Grade 6 students in the GTA are not meeting provincial standards in math, part of an alarming trend that has seen Ontario-wide scores drop to their lowest level in at least 15 years.”

In the City of Hamilton, only 38% of Grade 6 students met expectations.

Whatever the problem may be… we need to get into gear!  Kids math skills need to come up up up!  In order to be competitive in the future job market, this is an area we can not slack in.
