A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
  3. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  4. Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
  5. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  6. No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

That only determines minimum national requirements, not the full curriculum. They test once in grade school, once in middle school, and once in high school.

It’s true that a school can lose federal funding if the majority of the students fail to meet national standards, but that only accounts for 8-11% of public school funding.

Completely understand, but with how tight budgets are for schools currently losing 8 to 11% of funding is devastating.

It’s is, but it only perpetuates the problem. With no national accountability other than loss of funds, the sub-par school continues to operate with less funding. The federal government can’t assert any control over the district’s curriculum or staffing to improve standards.

I wasn’t attempting to imply it was a good system, only that there are ramifications

[–] disguy_ovahea 1 points 3 months ago

That’s fair. In that respect, there are repercussions.
