Wish I had been able to do them all in my head, but as of now, I’d definitely have to take a remedial math course because I’m pretty sure I couldn’t pass the college level math section of the test.

This was a REAL EYE OPENER. I’ll bet at least 90% of elementary teachers in Providence wouldn’t be able to pass the tests allowing them into a community college, let alone a college/university.

I specified Providence because I taught in the public schools there for 30 years. The last seven of those years, because I ran a computer lab and worked with every student in 2 different schools, I had a chance to interact with every teacher in each building.

I’ll bet the majority of public school elementary teachers IN THIS COUNTRY would have a hard time passing the College Board ACCUPLACER exam.

In fact, I’ll go so far to suggest that one of the criteria for teacher evaluations should be for them to pass the test. Failure would result in them having to take couorses designed to get them to proficiency.
