I have two classes. First would last at least an hour and would remove all cell phones as well as bar combing another’s hair or sleeping. Recently, I watched a group of high school students sitting at a table in the school cafeteria. Very silent because no conversation.All were texting on their cell phones. So maybe lunch would be the introduced in the first class.

Second would be a class in tests and measurement with a consumer examples. Topics include measures of central tendency, normal curves as a mathematical conteicances, standard scores, reliability and validity, correlation…We receive and must process and make decisions on lots of complex information reported in numbers. How does a parent or taxpayer interpret standard scores such as those found in scaled scores on the SAT or ranking schools on the most effective in teaching when ratings are based on the cumulative scores is students. The theme song would be “ain’t necessarily so.”
