My classes in grade 1 middle school have ben tested and put into classes based on their grades.

Had a big surprise today when I walked into my class that was suppposed to be the lowest class.

They were the best class I taught all week. As soon as I walked in the room they were all saying high teacher and talking a lot.

Some were even talking in sentences which is great for second week middle school.

I am sad now as these kids have been branded to be not smart. It is so obvious how retarded the testing system is here.


The tests are focusing on left brained abilities that one might call a science mind.

Big trick for society to place masuculine qualities over feminine ones.

Picture a test that rates Dr. Spock as the top student and anybody that can feel and have compassion as the lowest.

I had sort of thought this was going on but today I witnessed that testing in this country is light years behind even what I had imagined.

The sad thing is the more robot like their thinking is the higher the system will rate them.

Just think of all those kids that are smart in other areas of their brains getting told that they are not smart.
