Tutoring

Note the dropping of the unnecessary exposition panel. Otherwise, thus far the page lay outs are actually matching up. That changes a little here.

This is Harry Lucey, moving into establishing his style for Archie, and Dan Decarlo, just after his shackles to draw like Montana were removed. Had Lucey drawn the story a couple years later, I imagine it may have gotten the reprintings -- arguably a better depiction for this 1950s era "Psycho Chick Betty". As it were it is off model enough -- and has an uncomfortable title to boot.

well today my mum was shouting at me bc i got 80% on a test (she expects me to do better) and she was all like

"musicians have to be good at music, authors have to be good at writing, and you're a student, so you have to be good at learning!"

i was this close to saying "well then you have to start to be a good parent"

The Counterproductivity of School Competitiveness in America

NicholasGarrison, Editorials Editor A rising discourse surrounding Fulton County has been the difference between North Fulton and South Fulton school systems. Schools in these regions often compete with each other when it comes to grading, test scores and the overall atmosphere of their schools. However, comparing these two areas beyond superficial competitiveness reveals a much larger issue in…

Time to rein in PISAnity.

A few weeks back, as you were working your way through your daily commute, you may have caught a news story or two about something known as PISA scores. Undoubtedly, the news was not good. PISA is short for something called the Program for International Student Assessment; a test created for school children by something called the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The…

Alarming Decline: National Scores Drop for Middle School Students

A troubling trend has emerged as the latest assessment results show a concerning decline in student test scores across the nation. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report for the previous year highlights a significant drop in average scores for reading and mathematics.

The NAEP report reveals that the average scores for 13-year-old students dropped by 4 points in reading and a substantial 9 points in mathematics compared to the previous assessment. What is especially concerning is that students who were already struggling in their studies saw even greater decreases in their scores. In other words, students who were already behind their peers fell even further behind.

Another disheartening finding is that fewer students are finding joy in reading. Reading for pleasure is not only important for academic success but also for personal growth. Declines in reading for fun can have lasting effects on their overall literacy skills and enjoyment of learning.

The decline in scores was not equal for all students. Those in under-resourced communities faced more significant challenges, with a more noticeable decline in their scores compared to students in wealthier areas. For the first time since Urban Ventures was founded, the achievement gap is widening. This inequality highlights the urgency of providing targeted assistance and ensuring fair access to resources for all students, regardless of their background.

This report further emphasizes the necessity for targeted support to help students catch up and succeed. Thankfully, with the right interventions, students have the potential to reverse the downward trend and make remarkable progress. For instance, students enrolled in Urban Ventures' Reading Plus program tend to progress at twice the speed of their peers.

Likewise, through Summer Ventures, students dedicate their mornings to developing their reading, writing, and math skills. By continuing their studies during the summer, students can avoid the detrimental "Summer Slide" and start the next school year ahead instead of lagging behind.

While the national trends are troubling, they also underscore the dire need for the services provided by Urban Ventures. These services are only made possible with your support. By lending a helping hand, we can provide access to the right interventions for the right students at a critical time. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of students, ensuring they have the tools and support they need to succeed.

With all the pressure from family and peers swirling around, it’s common to stress about SAT scores and getting into college. Plus, admissions is getting more and more competitive each year, so you may be wondering, can you get into a good school these days with less than a 1500 on the SAT?

First, what is a “good school”? Let’s consider what’s likely the most popular definition: a selective school that is ranked highly by a publication such as US News. Though many top schools do tend to look for high SAT scores, only the few elite schools in the country, such as Harvard and Yale, will care about whether scores are above 1520 or so. Ivy leagues aside, UCLA, UCB, USC, NYU, Johns Hopkins, and CMU are all highly popular schools with excellent reputations, and all accept students with less than a 1500. Last year, UCLA students, for example, had an average SAT score of about 1450, but that doesn’t mean that people with a 1200 (or lower) didn’t get in also. Test scores are only one piece of your college application, one measure of your multifaceted greatness. In fact, the more the other aspects of your application stand out (think: impressive accomplishments such as national recognition for a talent), the less weight your SAT scores will carry.

If you’re still concerned about your score and college rankings are your priority, you might also look into some top-100 schools that are score optional. University of Chicago, which ranks right up there with Harvard and Princeton, recently announced it will no longer require the SAT. Bates, Bowdoin, Pitzer, Sarah Lawrence, and Wesleyan are some other elite school options that don’t require standardized testing. If you feel the stress mounting, always remember how many options you have.

Now let’s consider a second popular definition of a “good school”: the school that is the best fit for you. While going to a well-known top school such as Harvard or Stanford may provide some future career-related advantages, most top-ranked schools won’t necessarily be the best path to your successful future. However, a college that fits your personality, your aspirations, and your desires—the school that you will enjoy the most and be the most successful at—more likely will. If you’re comfortable with the class sizes, the available majors and hands-on opportunities, and the campus culture, you’ll be happier, more motivated, and network more easily. You’ll thrive. And this type of environment for you may very well be at a school that accepts lower-end SAT scores, or doesn’t require them at all.

If you haven’t done a college-match search, check this College Board search for school recommendations based on your personalized criteria. Then try taking in-person campus tours or virtual online campus tours, talking to students and administrators, and visiting campus websites and sites like unigo.com to get excited about colleges that truly appeal to you. When you’re informed and open to possibilities, you’ll be less distracted by worry over test scores.

In any case, just do your best and rest assured that, if you remain proactive, you’ll get an excellent education and have the time of your life, wherever you end up going.

My elementary school really said we could grade our own work for core classes everyday and they wouldn’t check if we lied ever but we weren’t trustworthy enough to grade a peer’s spelling test

The LAUSD Student Test Scores Show A Sharp Decline In English And Mathematics Proficiency

The Los Angeles Unified School District announced test scores on Friday that showed a significant decline in pupils’ levels of English and math performance across almost all grade levels. The district cited the widespread COVID-19 pandemic as the primary factor driving the results. The number of LAUSD students reaching or above state requirements in English fell by roughly two percentage points,…

The Flynn Effect

Intelligence test scores have been increasing, just about everywhere. It's too fast to be genetic. It's not clear whether this is due to better education, or greater familiarity with the type of tests, or better nutrition, or whatever else. But it is clear that some environmental factors can account for at least 14 points, probably much more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect

So there’s no *honest* reason for people to insist that regional differences are genetic. As I said, similar decade-by-decade differences can’t be.

But they’re are a lot of *dishonest* reasons for people to do so, and I’m depressed that this keeps coming back.
