Regents approve changes to tests
Albany -- Board delays raising the passing grade on required exams for two years, will modify controversial math test; education chief says moves aimed at helping students succeedWhy do they bother having education standards at all if what happens is the rich kids cannot make the grade, complain and the standards are reduced? Everytime I start to consider sending my children to school, something happens to remind me why that is less and less of an option.

I took about a dozen Regents exams when I was in high school on Long Island, in the bad old uninclusive days of the Seventies, and they were dead easy even then. I wouldn't bother with the schools there, really I wouldn't.
