Watching this videos made realize that the future of children is nowhere near important to the government. I completely disagree with the standardize test of New York City and country wise. The last video made me even more worried about my future, my daughters future and my career. I wonder, why if that "6 week program" works, then why are we here trying to get the best grades in this class? I wonder if anybody but me will recognize my struggle and take it into consideration? What's happening to EDUCATION?!
When I was in middle school, every class was important! Not just English and math. Everything matter, and maybe that's the reason why I'm thinking this way. When I was in High School everything mattered as well. We as students had regents to worry about. Majority of my friends did not graduate with me, not because "they weren't smart enough" but because they were pressured to pass this tests!
While listening to this videos in classroom, I started researching about Teachers in NYC. Living in this state it's a luxury I should say. Rent, rent is like an eye off my face, how can I afford a living? My job right now is good, I can manage to go to school which is my biggest concern. But I don't want to waste my time in a bank, which was nothing to with what my heart desires. On the other hand, I don't want to become a teacher and be criticized, and leveled, if my class has low rates. Or if the school itself has low rates. I wonder, is this what my future is really going to look like? If so, I think I need to start working on a plan B.
