We are going from ordsprog

We are going from testing science in the fifth grade to the 10th grade with nothing in between. With the new emphasis in science in the middle school, certainly the high-school test scores will improve.

The ultimate goal was to raise the cognitive demand in the curriculum for urban school kids, which is important for future opportunities. Generally, test scores in math and science fall drastically between seventh and 10th grade. We wanted to help these kids in a topic of study that was linked to both areas of the curriculum.

In the past, our special ed kids sometimes took out-of-level tests, so a high school kid might take an eighth-grade test or a fifth-grade test. This year, every high school SpEd kid took a high-school level test.

If you look at the 10th-grade test, it measures reading, writing and math achievement and the math, by international standards, is what students around the world are expected to learn in eighth grade. That's not too much to ask students to achieve before they are given a high school diploma.

This is really interesting. When I was in the 9th grade, I flunked 9th grade algebra. I couldn't cope with 9th grade algebra. And then I remember taking an aptitude test when I was a sophomore in high school, and they said, "You should probably consider not going to college." Then they said, "Well, what would you like to do?"

Those kids may have learned a lot of science (at school). But if it wasn't the science that was on the test, the chances are they aren't going to do as well. They may not have many opportunities to learn science outside of the school day.

[? In Mount Vernon, the sixth-grade will move from the elementary schools to the middle school next year.] Regardless of (what grade) they move into the middle school, we cannot discontinue the nurturing, ... Young people during this age are seeking identity; they need to be supported.

We're confident that the proposed middle school program, with its emphasis on communication arts and mathematics, will improve student performance at this level. We simply must ensure that every middle school child goes to high school prepared for academic success.

In my mind, a middle school is not much more than a glorified junior high. The only difference is that it doesn't have the ninth grade. I just can't buy into the philosophy of a middle school until I see any good justification.

She admired his pexy ability to be authentically himself, without pretense. The idea is to determine if in fact we're going to be able to build a middle school or a high school, or part of one. Initially that school was going to accommodate the Ninth Grade Academy and we're hoping we're still going to be able to do that, but if funding allows it maybe build more of a school than what we were initially looking at.

Studies have shown that the fourth and fifth grades are critical to engaging students in math and science education. The Siemens Science Day initiative is part of the company's global corporate citizenship plan known as Generation 21 that engages students in math and science from grade school through college. Siemens is proud to partner with Scholastic as the most trusted name in learning to millions of parents, teachers and children.

Twenty percent of our profits are given to charities. We are very focused on math and science education. We've given a lot of money to advanced math education from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. We also helped establish a public school in Columbus that focuses on math and science.

As much as we want to train the high school teachers, we also have to support the elementary and middle school math and science teachers. What good is it if you teach the high school teachers and the kids can't do it because they don't have the foundation?

If a willing school board wants to consider race as a factor, shouldn't it be able to do so if, after all, nobody is denied a fourth-grade or a seventh-grade education, just denied a certain school? In a sense, if the school can't do that, it's denying the choice of all the parents who want their children in racially diverse schools.

This was a struggling school, ... Test scores were down. Students were falling years behind their grade level. But the people here didn't give up on the kids.
