Sorry I am just used to saying districts.
but onto the "critical thinking"
Schools don't teach history anymore. They don't teach every thing about science anymore.
They now have enviromental science which just focuses on the Standardized tests.
They do no EDUCATE. There is a reason why the question was asked "why can't a USA student point out Iraq on a map today."
It is because all they care about are the standardized tests. When a student is now going into high school, and doesn't know what the Holocaust is or even the basic principles of science, all they know is how to fill out multiple choice questions on a test.
I was learning Latin in 3rd - 6th grade. They cut that out of the school I went to. Arts programs are being cut because they want to spend more money on test preparation.
Teachers ARE NOT teaching anymore. They are just preparing them to test.
The point of this thread is how Science in this country is just dropping. It is because of standardized testing. It is the theme of the thread. So yes THEY ARE NOT teaching what I learned in school, they actually taught subjects.
