Best to Test
The scene is a sidewalk winding through a vast and neatly manicured lawn, belonging to a public elementary school with a flag waving above it.
Two neatly dressed girls wearing sensible shoes converse as they walk away from the school, bent forward at the waist from the weight of their overstuffed backpacks. They appear to be average, innocent-looking middle-school-aged kids, with the exception of their oddly pubescent breasts.
A blonde-haired girl with a bob haircut looks defeated as she complains to her worried looking pony-tailed companion, "So far all we're learning is how to take a math test, how to take a science test, and how to take a reading test." In the same boat as many parents, teachers, schools, taxpayers, and most importantly students, the cartoonist, Bob Englehart opposes standardized testing and the pressure it puts on children. The contrast created in drawing childish-looking girls with untimely large breasts highlights the unnatural pressure placed on children in the U.
S.
, giving the impression that children today grow up too quickly.
The anxious expressions on the youngster's faces imply that they are being pushed to meet the current and increasingly rigid standards, and the overstuffed backpacks illustrate the disproportionate load children are being burdened to carry. If our children were being pushed to actually learn and retain things, the child's comments at the base of the cartoon wouldn't be so bad; however they are merely learning how to take tests, which has scary implications for the future. Originally introduced to classrooms in the 1920's , standardized tests assess the basic reading, writing, math and science skills of elementary through high school aged students.
It wasn't until the mid 1980's that standardized testing became political and The National Governors Association came up with the concept of "performance based accountability" leading to the amendment of Title 1 in 1994 making performance-based accountability mandatory. Under President Bush's 2001 education reform law, "The No Child Left Behind Act", schools must administer twice as many standardized tests and students must meet twice as many standards as before.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act was reauthorized in 2002, tremendously increasing school accountability along with rewards, aid and punishments.
If standards are met, schools receive federal funding; if standards are not met, students are held back, teachers are sanctioned or "let go', and schools lose funding and are forced to be converted to charter schools or to close.
The politicians claim that putting students, teachers and school administrators in a position of accountability will increase their incentive to strive for higher standards, but unfortunately, the measures with which they assess the standards are biased and inaccurate, and therefore invalid. In light of these facts, I argue that standardized tests are a legal weapon created by and for politicians as yet another way to hold down the masses of poor, which are more often than not minorities.
A current doctoral student, to whom English is a second language, grew up attending Los Angeles public schools where despite excelling in classes, she "scored unbelievably low on standardized reading tests, up to and including the SAT", as did the majority of her bilingual classmates.
Test questions include phrases such as, "ball and chain" and "straight from the horses mouth" reflecting the parlance of white, middle to upper class males.
Frustrated middle school teacher, Don Perl sarcastically "proposed dumping the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP, Colorado's standardized test) and using the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunches to classify schools". What Perl is saying is that the results of standardized tests are predictable, and that it isn't hard to see the obvious socioeconomic disparity and its correlation to standardized test results. The title of The Daily Camera article, "Incomes are Outcomes in the Classroom", sums it up well.
The article reveals the following statistics: 76 percent of high-income fourth graders are reading at or above the proficient level; while only 43 percent of low-income fourth graders are reading at or above the proficient level. Harvard Magazine reports that schools performing high on standardized tests "reflect the social capital (high socioeconomic status) of their students rather than the internal capacity of the schools", and asserts that test-based accountability widens the gap between schools serving the rich and the poor. As a result of these biases, low income (often minority) children are more likely to be retained in a grade, or placed in a "lower track" or special/remedial education programs when not necessary, due to test results.
Those children will be negatively labeled as "failures" and from that point on will likely receive a "dumbed down" curriculum, based on practicing test taking.
Alternately, the children from the "white, middle-upper class income backgrounds will be placed in gifted and talented or college preparatory programs where they are challenged to read, explore, investigate, think and progress rapidly". Let's not measure a child's potential as it correlates with the financial success of their birth families. Our society was intended to be equal opportunity, not caste-based. Let's be fair to the youth of our nation and provide them with an education that they deserve, regardless socioeconomic class.
Let's advocate to eliminate consequence based standardized testing.

How Does Bullying Affect People?
Bullying affects people of all ages in a number of different ways. Many people are first bullied by others before they come to adopt the behavior themselves.
Whether a person is bullied and a bully or just one or the other the effects it has on them can be long lasting.
Types Of Bullies To understand how does bullying affect people it is important to be familiar with the different types of bullies. These include narcissistic/sadistic, imitative, impulsive, physical, verbal, impulsive, subordinate, pair, gang, pressure, regulation, residual, client, institutional and corporate bullying. The Triggers Of Bullies There are several factors that can trigger the actions of any bully. These are envy, jealousy, a feeling of invisibility in their home life, emotionally distant parents and both physical and verbal abuse.
Psychological Effects Of Being Bullied According to a 2013 article in Forbes Magazine the psychological effects of being bullied can and do stay with people for a long time.
The effects are particularly bad for those who have been bullied, more so than for the ones that acted like bullies.
The Journal of the American Medical Association ran the results of a study that followed kids who were bullied or were bullies, from their childhood straight through to adulthood. The study was conducted in Northern California on students at the ages of 9, 11 and 13, most of whom were contacted again as adults. Of the people that participated in this study 5% were only bullies themselves and 21% were only the victims of other bullies.
A reported 4.
5% of the study participants reported that they had been both the bullied and the bully. Between the ages of 19 and 26 the participants in this study were contacted on a follow up basis.
The results were that people who had been bullied as a child are more likely to suffer from anxiety, panic and depressive disorders as well as agoraphobia.
Of the participants who experienced bullying from both sides 25% of them reported that they had had suicidal thoughts in their early adult years as a result. These participants have a high risk of developing an antisocial personality disorder. In comparison, roughly 38% of the participants who were both bullied and bullies now have have a panic disorder to deal with.
The Effect Of Experiencing Bullying During Childhood In schools across the country one of every five children has been the victim of bullying.
There is a cycle that kids who experience bullying go through.
It starts with students who assume a leadership role among their peers and use that to bully others.
Kids in this role often have many of their classmates following them.
While a bully's followers don't usually engage in bullying themselves they do nothing to discourage it either. Supporters and others who do nothing to stop bullies are often referred to as passive bullies. These kids regularly draw attention the actions of a bully, but they do not participate in those actions. Passive supporters of bullies and their actions don't express their support for the bullies, but they secretly enjoy watching others get bullied.
Kids who witness bullying but don't care about it are called disengaged onlookers.
These kids either tell themselves to watch the bully at work or that it is none of their business what the bully is doing.
Other kids witness the bullying and disapprove of it but they don't help the person being bullied even though they want to.
Other kids will step up to defend a friend or classmate from a bully.
Kids who strictly watch others being bullied but don't step in often act this way out of fear.
They feel powerless and guilty because they are not helping whoever is being bullied.
While they may feel a temptation to participate in the bullying they usually won't give in to do so.
Kids who are always the bully often find themselves engaged in fist fights, vandalizing property and items that do not belong to them and perceive school as a negative place to be.
While many bullies regularly have behavior problems not all of them do. Many of them have strong social skills and know how to fit in with both their peers and the adults around them. This is more often the case with female bullies than with male bullies.
The problem with this is that most parents assume that a female student would never become a bully and they often don't believe it if their daughter is accused of bullying.
This makes it easier for females to get away with bullying.
The Fate Of A Bullied Child In May of 2010 an 11 year old in Oklahoma named Ty Field Smiley killed himself as a result of having been bullied by classmates.
The day he killed himself he had been suspended from school for sticking up to a bullying who had been harassing him for the entire duration of the school year.
When he was suspended his mother picked him up at school, drove him home and told him to do chores and homework while she went back to work. However, Ty had other plans that involved going into his parent's bedroom, getting their gun and shooting himself in the head. While the boy's parents reported that for the duration of that school year and the previous one their son was bullied at school the school's district offices denied this claim. How School Students Are Affected By Bullying When bullying is allowed to take place in schools the entire environment is affected and the students feel this effect the most.
Students then become disrespectful and fearful of their school which can lead to behavior problems.
It also makes it more difficult for students to learn and take full advantage of the education they are being offered.
Students often start to become insecure and look for excuses to avoid going to school at all.They feel unsafe at school because they believe no one will do anything to stop the bullying.
Many times those who have been bullied in elementary, middle or high school often choose not to go to college because they fear the bullying will simply continue while they are there. They may also continue to experience bullying in their personal and work lives throughout the course of their adult life.
The school environment puts perceived pressure on many teens to keep their mouths shut when they witness bullying, in order to maintain friendships with their classmates. Teenagers often feel isolated when they publicly stick up for a friend who has been bullied, so they tend to look the other way when it happens. At the other end of the spectrum is the kids who are being bullied.
These kids often have a hard time making friends because their classmates perceive them negatively if they are frequently bullied by their peers. Preventing School Bullying In Michigan there are now 37 laws designed to prevent the act of bullying.
Despite these laws, many schools have been forced to go to court when the parent of a bullied child decides to take legal action against the school. Some of these lawsuits have resulted in schools having to pay millions of dollars in damage.
Students can help prevent bullying in a number of different ways.
Any student that is being bullied by a classmate needs to speak up about the bullying rather than ignore it.
They are advised to tell their teachers as well as their parents.
It is helpful if students who are being bullied are able to hide their fear, as showing fear makes them more vulnerable to attacks from their classmates and peers.
Many bullies act out against other children because they find it easy to attack kids who are weaker than they are.
Anyone being bullied that can give an outward appearance of confidence can often deflect the bullies on their own. Once they realize they are not getting any attention as a result of bullying an individual they will back off because there is nothing in it for them. When students feel threatened by others they need to call immediate attention to the situation.
Verbally alerting those around them to the bullying taking place can help divert it.
Those who are bullied at any age are urged to speak out about their experience.
This gives others around them the strength to tell their own stories of bullying, which spreads awareness of the problem and can sometimes even help prevent it from happening in the future.

Rising Raisins and Pop Bottle Fountains - A Science Inquiry Experience - Part 2
In Part 1 of this experience, students worked with "Rising Raisins".
There they found that bubbles prefer to form on a surface and just not come out of solution on their own.
Here, we take that knowledge and attempt to get lots of bubbles to form in one small area to create a "Pop Bottle Fountain". For this, you will need a two liter bottle of seltzer water. Soda will work fine but it tends to make a sticky mess.
Seltzer water will just evaporate leaving no sticky residue. As far as clean-up is concerned, seltzer water is the winner.
You will also need a hammer, nail, a piece of string about two feet long, some tape, and a candy Menthos. Menthos are mint flavored chewy candies found in the grocery check-out.
There are six or eight in a package.
Have the students make observations about a Mentho.
They will note that its white, smooth, and not round. Ask them to observe the shell more closely.
It really isn't as smooth as it appears on first glance.
What do you think will happen if we place this in seltzer water? Carefully remove the cap from the seltzer bottle.
Some gas will escape.
Don't worry. Place the cap on the sidewalk so that the top is facing up.
In this way something could be hidden under it, but that's not what is going to happen.
Using the hammer, pound the nail through the top of the cap to make a hole.
You are done with the hammer and nail.
Run the string through the hole so that the cap is halfway up the string.
Attach one Mentho to the end of the string that is going into the cap.
Use some tape to do this.
This attachment will be flimsy at best.
Draw the attached Mentho up into the bottle cap by pulling on the string that leaves the top of the cap. Screw the cap (with the Mentho inside) tightly onto the bottle. Do not let the Mentho touch the seltzer water.
You're ready for the fountain.
Make sure it is pointing at no one.
Count down, "Three, two, one!", and pull the string. The Mentho will be freed from the string and tape and drop into the seltzer water. There, the Mentho will provide lots of surface for bubbles to form very quickly. The pressure will build inside the bottle and the water will spray from the bottle as a gorgeous, though short lived, fountain.
Quite exciting, indeed.
Did the students guess correctly? Next time, more science activities to try. Until then, have fun!

Online Degrees - Moms Learning at Home
Many times, the use of the title "stay-at-home-mom" does not conjure images of a hard-working college student, but that doesn't mean the two do not go well together.
Only seventy percent of college students are under the age of 25, with an average of that thirty percent being over thirty years old.
Being able to balance a college education and parenting is not easy, but it is at least easier when online degrees.
When you are selecting an online degree you should have a plan and a degree in a market which you will or already enjoy.
There are many accredited universities and online colleges which offer distance programs that allow you to do all of your class work online with just a simple internet connection. Often times, you are provided an email address through the school, making it hassle free for you. Getting online degrees has never been easier than it is now.
And sometimes the first step toward an online job for mom is mom getting an education. Signing up for an online degree program is simple for those who have little time or miscellaneous availability.
The variety of majors makes it possible for mothers with any interest to apply and succeed.
There are associate's degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, or doctorate degrees available online.
Being a mother requires discipline and organization.
Being a student online requires the same coinciding with computer and internet access.
This flexibility makes online degree programs perfect for stay at home mothers. Stay-at-home-mothers are able to achieve their dreams without rearranging their schedules each day.
Being limited to cooking and cleaning should not be the only thing in your future.
Educational life can continue after children by getting degrees, then advancing your career.
To begin obtaining your degree online or online training, you select the institution which you choose, then fill out the online admissions application. Once this is done, the internet can be used to enroll in classes, make payments on tuition, and break apart your classes in manageable sizes.
Each of the course options vary in their type, length, and level based upon previous studies.
The benefits of these degrees include the fact that stay at home mothers can raise their confidence levels knowing that they have achieved a college education.
They increase their chances in any job market and can use this to increase the income level of the household.
Online education can lead to online work for stay-at-home-mothers which can add supplemental income to the family.
By attending accredited online institutions, stay-at-home-mothers can achieve the same degree that would by attending classes at a traditional institution without having to get on campus.
Lastly, by achieving an online education, stay at home mothers reduce their educational costs by eliminating travel expenses and on-campus expenses. There is financial aid for stay-at-home-mothers thanks to the Federal Scholarship program which the Obama Administration created.
By first applying for the academic institution of their choice, those mothers who stay at home can then investigate whether their particular course qualifies them for a scholarship.
Filling out these applications with all true information will make it easier to obtain approval. The colleges will contact the applicants once they get a response.
The best part about this is it eliminates the need to repay college loans.
