<p>wow you could have knocked me over with a feather</p>
<p>I just wanted to tell someone- after all my dissatisfaction with the school district- and the state, re public education, I just got the letter today that said that my daughter- who has a disability that interferes with processing and memory,passed the 10th grade math WASL.( nclb test required for graduation)
This is a big deal.
In 4th/8th & 10th grade, she received a 1 in math on the WASL
( There are 4 rankings- 1- not even close to passing - 2 closer but still not passing- 3 passing- & 4 passing at highest level- if she had gotten 12 more points she would have gotten a 4–
she is now a junior)</p>
<p>However she retook it this spring after taking a month of a required WASL class ( at the same time she had another grade level math class), and she almost received a 4- the highest passing grade in math.</p>
<p>Not that this takes away from my frustration with using a test that was supposed to evaluate curriculum/teaching, that instead is punitive to students.</p>
<p>But so cool!
:D</p>
