Az I Teach It....

- The AIMS Task Force recommends Arizona high school students take two additional tests, and that the AIMS tests are no longer sufficient indicators of college preparedness.  Rember when students had to take the ITBS, or CAT, or district tests?  They were deemed insignificant indicators, because students failed them at ever-growing rates.  Even now, Arizona has one of the lowest high school and college graduation rates, and one of the highest dropout rates!

- More than 5,000 teachers, and two administrators, are now unemployed, at least until the federal stimulus money is distributed and the two administrators get re-hired!

- High school students want to earn extra money while school is free.  College students want education free, so that they don't have to make extra money!

- The teacher was trying to persuade students to buy the class picture.  "Just think how nice it will be someday, to look at it and say, 'There's Michael - he's a lawyer;  there's Jennifer - she's a doctor.'"  Little Nicky, from the back of the room, said, "And there's teacher - she's dead!"
