When school grades are published, they really do us all a disservice, because our students are tested by the state using tests that don't cover what we have taught, but totally different and irrelevant information. The tests change every year and it is impossible to know what's on them to teach it, although we work hard to try. New accountability measures are necessary, created by EDUCATORS and not POLITICIANS.

The 3 top reasons on the list are: most parents are not helping their children learn at home , the achievers should be in a classroom of their own because children need to be challenged according to their ability, too much cramming / rushing of the students that have normal academic ability , and finally there needs to be a balance between work and play because creative free play is necessary for good mental health.
