As a parent of a 15-year-old who goes to Stuyvesant, a test-in public highschool with a rigorous curriculum and frequent tests, I am ambivalent about the notion that schools across the country would adopt yet more tests.
Tracy had been in discussion with Karlie's public highschool about alternative education programs, and they were coordinating an online curriculum for her daily classes.
The offputtingly dull curriculum may explain, for example, why a survey of Riyadh high-school students found that fewer than one in six did any reading for pleasure.
