The #STAAR test is flawed, with AI grading causing issues. Gina Hinojosa highlights that 30% of regraded tests were underscored, and 50% of third graders scored zeros on the written portion. This test is inappropriate and manipulat... https://instagr.am/p/DXvGOW4BVOG/
Oogdruk is al een tijdje prima, zelfs met minder medicatie. De operatie om een glaucoom drain implantaat te plaatsen is nu dus niet nodig.
Het oog is wel vaak rood, pijnlijk en geïrriteerd. Blijkt ontstoken te zijn, tot diep binnen in het oog. Daar krijg ik nu druppels voor, die de oogdruk weer kunnen verhogen...
Wat een feest... 🥳🥳🥳
Voorlopig nog niet klaar dus...

A bill to end Texas' STAAR test in 2027 is likely to be signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, but some lawmakers and educators say they still have questions.

A bill to end Texas' state-mandate STAAR test is headed for Gov. Greg Abbott's desk. House Bill 8 replaces the year-end assessment with three shorter tests, but critics say that only increases the burden on students.
A Texas House panel on Thursday advanced a proposal to scrap STAAR, the end-of-the-year state standardized test, but not without some Democrats lamenting the changes the lower chamber made to reach an agreement with the Senate.

The House and Senate primary testing bills would replace the #STAAR test with 3 shorter tests at the beginning, middle, and end of each school year, with requirements to generate the results more quickly. The stakes would be even higher for individual schools and school districts. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-legislative-repeal-and-replace-staar-test/
Texas lawmakers are making another push to get rid of the STAAR test — a plan that died during the regular legislative session earlier this year.
Among the Houston area’s most populated school districts, many outperformed the state’s average STAAR test scores, but a few did not.

Many of the Houston region's largest school districts performed better than the state average in terms of meeting grade level standards. Houston ISD, in its second year under state control, was a little ahead of the curve in most subjects tested.
A legislative effort to scrap the STAAR test to respond to concerns that the test puts unnecessary pressure on students died in the last days of the legislative session.
The Texas Senate passed a bill to eliminate the STAAR test — the state's standardized test for public schools — while also overhauling how schools are rated and limiting legal challenges that have delayed accountability scores in recent years.
