Thousands Of Georgia Students Not Making The Grade

Story: Thousands Of Georgia Students Not Making The CRCT Grade

Some counties had up to 40% failing the math portion. Here's a recipe for a cycle of failure:
1. Develop a standardized test that is nearly impossible to pass.
2. Potentially lose grant money because of low test scores.
3. Force students to attend summer school to advance academically.
4. Hire extra staff to teacher these classes.
5. Fall deeper into a budget deficit.
6. Cut teaching positions from next school year.
7. Over-sized classrooms lead to poor instruction and hinder learning.
