The teacher were taught what and how to teach their students so let them do their jobs and fail those that refused to learn what the teacher are teaching them. If they refuse don’t pass them and move them out of the education system into job corps

If only 30-50% pass the test (MA Dept of Education), the answer is not to drop the test requirement, but to improve the schools, and throwing money at the problem also is not the answer since that’s what has happened so far with no better results. How do students from private school students perform and if their performance is better, it time for more charter schools, and parents’ school choice? The education of our children is too important to water down requirements, or continue as is.
