I saw it. Other schools have verystressed out kids...very stressed out. Ours had teenagers beging teenagers.

trying the challenge exams at members1.indianmathonlin...

I also heard Bob Compton. Moved his kids into a fast paced schooling with academics after school. They hate it and resent him (his words)

But he still says it's worth it. Has to be a happy medium somewhere.

interesting that Compton claims faults is not in school, but in our values: www.2mminutes.com/lesson...

"the multi-day proficiency test that every 10th grader in India must pass to go on to the 11th grade..." from www.2mminutes.com/third-...

I wonder how many pass? What happens if they don't?

lots of generalizations...we clearly have many schools that "work" - can we reproduce them? If not, why not? What are the variables?

I'm taking the "challenge" tests now. Interesting.

Add to the discussion... a student's view: kyleahutzler.googlepages...

I took all of the tests - some require pretty obscure knowledge and there were several typos

I too thought there were obscure questions (questions are randomly generated each time).

I didn't do so well on the history or geography tests. Maybe if I was in 11th grade....

jjohnson ... typos probably a result of translation?

cchausis Those were my lowest two tests too. And social studies was my least favorite in school. Go figure.
