When you have schools spend a great deal of time tutoring students so they can pass the MCAS test, and the students don't have time to get a full carriculum, you end up with a whole bunch of students that are as prepared for the next grade or even the next level of education as a monkey is prepared for brain surgery.
Now they are talking of extending the school year and the school day.....WHY???
Because the teachers don't have time to teach the required subjects after teaching the students on how to pass the MCAS!!!
