Thread: Hispanics struggle with state (Oregon) testing scores

I didn't see this posted but no surprises here about the test scores. I guess pumping millions more into the education system will solve the problem. Well at least it will make your wallets lighter.

Hispanics struggle with state testing scores

Boo hoo hoo.
My wallet is already light.
Bus tickets to Mexico are cheaper. Even a charter.
It would be a better cultural fit.

At Talmadge Middle School in Independence, Spanish-speaking students learn to communicate with their teachers, but that's not sufficient to prepare them for the rigors of high school, former Talmadge teacher Kira Daczewitz said.
So what's the solution? You want us to continue lowering the standards again and again, until American students can't get educated enough to enter college? Quit taxing the hell out of people, for students that shouldn't be here in the first place. If it's a cultural thing, send them to back to their own country to obtain an education.
