What he should do is fire the idiots who came up with that question.Last week, students and teachers complained about questions on the eighth-grade English test that were based on a reading passage that put a twist on a well-known fable. The modern version highlighted in the test features a pineapple and a hare, rather than a tortoise and a hare.
The pineapple challenges the hare to a race, and then is eaten by animals in the forest after losing the race. Multiple-choice test questions asked students, among other things, why the animals ate the pineapple, and how the animals felt toward the pineapple.
In response to the complaints, state Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. decided not to count the six questions toward test scores.
Education Department, King, John, Deputy Commr, Annual salary $186,506 and that is the best he could do?
And people have to discuss why we are falling behind in education in the USA.
