New York to scrap literacy test for teachers. Guess why. - Hot Air

Amazing. We test for basic competency. We get results that indicate widespread incompetency. The results make us "feel bad". So, rather than attempting to SOLVE the problem, we stop testing for basic competency. Try this on the firing range, or on a pilot's flight eval, or anywhere in the real world, and you lose wars, you lose lives, you just lose. This is public education in New York.
