They should have done that long time ago. This is the sad part about all of that, they (administrators) stress to us History teachers on how the U.S. History EOI scores are so low, but they give the attention to it as they do the English and Math EOIs. Besides the kids could give a flying f**k about them anyway. Once the EOIs come and go they shut it down and basically wait for the end of the school year.

My bad it meant to say the admin doesn't pay attention to the US History EOI like they do Math and English.

So what are they going to replace it with? That's the first thing i said too. I'm sure it'll be something stupid. I'm hoping they actually ask the people that do the teaching in those areas what they think before coming up with something new.

A bunch of dentists, lawyers, and other bureaucrats who have no background in education, especially in the classroom that will make decisions on what's best for schools and kids.

hopefully they will gather the supes from a plethora of districts and get as much input from them as possible as to what needs to replace EOIs. also this will allow teachers to start being creative in the classroom and not hampering them to teach kids how to take a test.

here's the crazy thing............we'll still probably have EOIs at the end of this year. the full house still has to consider and then it has to go to the governor and if and when she signs it, it will take 90 days to implement. unless........they make it an emergency item to which we could have it implemented by next month.
IMO, they need to replace it ACT standards.

Aren't they wanting the ACT to replace it? Well this is what they are doing in my school district. The counselors told the sophomores that if you failed a particular EOI, but if you got a high score on the Plan ACT, such as Math or English, maybe Science they would use that score to replace that failed EOI score in English, Math, or Science.

Will this include doing away with the 3rd grade reading test? They are being tested with what basically amounts to 5th and 6th grade material. It's not even close to grade appropriate.

If the bill passes, this years' 10th graders are the last class that will have EOIs. The new law takes effect with the freshman class.

i bet fallin is working back door deals with this. she's probably saying "hey, i'll sign this EOI bill if you guys support the voucher bill."
hopefully they don't, but i can see that happening.
