Grrrrrrr
I am really bummed. There was recently a law suit in New York about the Physics Regents exams. The Board of Regents was being sued because people from some more wealthy areas of NY State were not passing the tests-even though the wealthy public schools were supposed to be the best, and the students the smartest. Guess, what, students did not pass, and what to do? Study more physics? Improve the science department at the schools? No, sue the Office of Assesment for making the tests harder. The law suit was thrown out. As a result, the NY Times has published an article about my father (Dr. Gerald DeMauro) which is not true. Where is it not true? Pretty much the whole thing such as, no one called him and spoke to him before this article was written.
Sorry about the rant and the whining, but I am so bummed!
