Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Peter Greene saw an opinion piece in USA Today written by an employee of the Wall StreetHEDGE FUND managers' group "Democrats for Education Reform," which may or may not actually have any Democrats in its membership (but we will never know). The article said it was important for students to take the state tests because property values hinge on test scores! Really? Without high test scores, the property values in high-wealth Scarsdale, a suburb of New York City, might plummet. " Gosh, state officials never told us that the importance of the state tests was to shore up property values in elite suburbs. What then is the reason for students in low-income communities to take the test? Their scores might hurt their property values. Same for working-class neighborhoods. This argument is actually a good reason for everyone to opt out except for elite suburbs." |
