- Starting next year, the value of an Oregon High School
diploma is zero.
-
- Students will be given a choice of taking a national
or State exit exam. Or they can put together a "portfolio" showing
what they learned. Of course, if they learned very little, can not use
the English language or can't add, that will no longer matter.
-
- If they are unable to tell which century the US Civil
War was fought, no big deal. If they confuse the the First ten amendments
to the Constitution with the Ten Commandants, no big deal. A few pictures,
telling a story and "caring" about the earth, and you will get
a diploma in Oregon.
-
- This is the State that allows assisted suicide - looks
like the state is assisting in the education suicide of it students. What
do you think? Should an objective test be given to students or a subjective
"portfolio" be enough for graduation? Can you fail a portfolio?
Of course, not.

- Pass this along, you can be sure O''Connell and the unions
will be promoting this portfolio in California. To see the complete story

- Shocking...but part of the Outcome Based Education (OBE)
individualized education plan we have been looking at since 1965 (Passage
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act -- Lyndon Johnson's Great
Society).
-
- If Elisa thinks academic education is better in Texas,
she had better take another look. It is far worse than in Oregon. Maybe
the schools are stricter, pledge allegiance to the flag, and don't allow
piercings; however, Texas is at the bottom of the list as far as academic
excellence is concerned, and has been using the Direct Instruction (Pavlov,
Skinner scientific research-based dog training method) for over ten years!
It was one of, if not the most important, pilot for the whole
country.
