RALEIGH, N.C. - What is the approximate mean distance from Neptune to the sun in astronomical units?
That’s one of the questions many elementary school teachers in North Carolina are now being asked before they can get their licenses.
[Take the test for yourself]
In a presentation to the State Board of Education this month, experts revealed hundreds of teachers across the state are failing the test they must pass to teach in North Carolina, and it’s getting worse each year.
The board changed the required test for elementary teachers with zero to two years of experience in 2014.
“The math level on this particular test far outreaches the training that an elementary school teacher would have been given at college or a university and far exceeds what we will ever be required to teach in a K-5 classroom,” Krista Ricks, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools elementary school teacher, said.
Ricks has 19 years of teaching experience, so she doesn’t have to take the test. Several of her colleagues, though, do, and they’ve failed.

The data presented at the State Board of Education meeting this month shows about 36 percent of teachers failed the math portion of the test in 2016 and 2017.
Teachers can take the test as many times as they’d like to try to pass, but they must pay for themselves. The mathematics subtest is $94 to take.
Ricks said many of the teachers have already proven themselves in the classroom.
"They go through observations from administration, in fact, new teachers have the most observations,” Ricks said. ”They’re getting stellar remarks, and their children are showing amounts of growth.”

It comes as many districts across the state struggle to fill teaching positions.
“We're already almost at a crisis situation to fill classrooms with qualified teachers, and this doesn’t help,” Ricks said. “In the end, the kids lose. Our children lose."

The board is making changes to address the issue. Teachers rated effective by their employer can continue teaching for a year, and a state committee is looking at alternatives to the test.
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction said the board and superintendent are working toward a long-term solution by the end of the year.
Pearson, the maker of the test, sent Channel 9 the below statement:
"Pearson supports the efforts of the North Carolina Board of Education (BOE) to have high-quality, valid educator licensure assessments. We have been working with the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and North Carolina educators to implement the exams on behalf of the State to help North Carolina achieve its education goals. North Carolina teachers are deeply involved throughout the process of validating educator licensure assessments. Test scores required for passing are determined by the State and are informed by recommendations from North Carolina educators resulting from standard setting activities."

In short what is happening is that there is a lack of teachers to fill classrooms and the want to be teachers are failing the tests because the majority are black. So what are they proposing? Ditch the test all together and lower the standards of education because they can't make up the Teacher Deficit to fill the seats.
This my friend is what I call bullshit. Seriously. It is also why Homeschooling is the best route to go because you can adhere to a higher standard of learning than what you ever get out of a school. You can keep religion in the doctrine and in the pledge of allegiance as well as keep communism out of the classroom.
Can you pass the test?

>can you pass the test?
Every question I looked at and bothered to spend a few seconds on I managed to solve in my head. I didn't try the free response ones though, because I'm not wasting paper on something that I'm at least 80% sure I can do. Also, as a product of public schooling, I can assure you all that as I went into college, I didn't feel prepared in the slightest.

With pen an paper I can solve even advanced mathematics such as calculus and have been since I got into it back in the 6th grade, my uncle was into some higher maths so it just something I took to.
You are lucky you can do math in your head, I can't. Even so. This test is very easy and most of it is just division, multiplication, addition and subtraction.
The most complained about question was the one about Neptune. They give you the distance from the earth to the sun in miles and say that is 1 AU. Then give you the distance from Sol to Neptune in miles then ask what is the mean distance in AU.
I dunno about you but this is a division problem. Take Neptunes distance, divide by earths and WALA. Easy peasy lemon squeesy and these dumbasses can't do simple math? Why do I want them to be a teacher?

I didn't even see the neptune question as I was scrolling, but if they couldn't even do that with all the information they were given, then they really shouldn't be teaching dogs, let alone children.

Yeah, I totally agree. People that can't even do basic of math shouldn't be teachers and the fact is that the most complaints come off of something so simple too. I know the test has to have more too it such as science, history and so on, I wonder what is on those tests? They news only hyped up the math portion.
But the other fact that they are trying to lower the standards to allow more to pass the tests is no different than what they are already doing in the medical field with the MCAP scores by lowering the bar and saying a 60% is a passing grade for a black and acceptable while for a white man it has to be 85% or better. Yeah, this discrepancy between the two is enough to be furious because everyone should be met by the same standards to ensure what we are getting out of it are quality teachers, doctors, lawyers and so on. If they say that education is raciest, then their race must be worthless if what we are basing our education is based on Merit. Our bar should never be lowered to accommodate someone because of their lack of skill, no matter the race or creed.

>black passing MCAP scores are now 60%
suddenly I have lost faith in our medical system, I'm not quite sure why. In all seriousness though, this is unacceptable and needs to be reversed soon, if not now. Also, I see a headline in the future about more surgeries ending in the death of the patient on average, sadly.

What are you talking about, seriously it is already happening now. There was one "doctor" from Atlanta.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/10/dancing-georgia-doctor-is-suspended-by-medical-board-for-being-threat-to-public-health-safety.html
A gosh darn dermatologist that was doing plastic surgeries. If that isn't alarming enough she butchered all her patients and as they were under the knife, was making rap videos, playing with them on the table while knocked out, and posting them on youtube. Thank god she is being sued and had her license revoked but since when did dermatology qualify anyone for plastic surgery? All of her hack jobs could of had been avoided given no one even gave her a license to practice to begin with.
Because of Affirmative Action which is institutionalized racism, more blacks are attending colleges and given a free diploma because their merit isn't getting them it, it is lowering the bar to meet their standards.

I'm afraid I can't effectively put into words just how I'm feeling about this now, but needless to say, I hope I don't have a black or hispanic person doing any of my surgeries from now on.

Same here, same here. It is quite alarming that because of institutionalize racism, and the lowering of standards, I have become more of a racist myself. Seriously, I myself have went to quite a few doctors recently and even I had to do some heavy vetting to make sure I wasn't going to see a black. Primary doctor, dermatologist and gastroenterologist. Hopefully no surgeries but even so, there is more than just getting cut up that will mess you up. Misdiagnosis can lead to prescribing the wrong medications and that can lead to many ill side effects, including addiction and death.
And you talk about lowering of standards? Just look at the non union electrical field, houses are burning down due to the shit jobs from mexican contractors.
I am not saying there aren't smart people from any race but my god, have some standards and stop lowering them because you do put people at risk. Dumb ass teachers teach dumbass kids, grows up to wire a home and burns it down. Has to have a skin graft and the doctors does a butcher job and gives him a massive infection that kills him anyway. Congrats…The cycle of stupidity continues.

And the jews who started this cycle sit back and laugh at what they did while everyone smart enough to realize what's going on gets labeled as a racist. Also, from what you're saying, you don't sound like a racist; that would imply that you have a baseless hatred/mistrust towards certain ethnicities. You and I, however, have a basis for our hatred and mistrust.

Well, I don't just hate to hate. Just because you are diffrent doesn't mean that I hate you. It is what you do. As a majority however, yeah that can be seen racist as when you start to lump everyone in the same boat. But honestly when the over whelming majority has the same traits, it is hard not to be wary or have a general mistrust. You allow more blacks into your school, hey great, educate them dumbasses. You allow them in because you lowered the bar, now how will you distinguish them from everyone else? I hate that and feel uncomfortable with black doctors because I don't trust them.
Then they bitch and complain as they did with the teachers test and say "Who knows the distance between earth and neptune, this is too hard, lower the standards" then they do. All the info is given to them and they still complain as if they are to get some special ticket because of their skin? I laugh at white privilege because the only privilege I seen was because who ever working at the top, was their relative. Otherwise, we work for everything we got. Why can't we see everyman put under the same measures? You can't keep begging that everyone gives you something based on baseless measures, race, ethnics, age, religion, it makes not your ability or merit.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In the Declaration we write that all men are created equal however, with shit like this, by lowering standards. Apparently we aren't equal afterall. (One reason I hate the fact there are hate crimes, I think murder in itself is a crime, what makes it different because you are black and I white?)

Humanity's various subspecies (races) were never equal to begin with though, just like every other species that can exhibit such a spectrum of differences. Every different race has different things that they're good and bad at, and it just so happens that one of those things is learning and retaining knowledge (hence why the blacks and hispanics score less).

Indeed, it isn't like I don't see that. But sure as hell, we don't treat everyone the same or with the same dignity, despite it being one of the things declared when we, the US, broke from the UK.
Say what, how many times have you, at least in the 90's, heard this phrase, "White man can't jump"? Especially playing basketball. Then you look a blacks running track and they're always wining? Perhaps because they are built with longer slimmer bodies than white man with longer legs too. But then you look at white man and their skulls and see how we have a more uniformly shaped skull and brain and realize we seem to retain more knowledge than they do. Yet, all the schools want to preach that we all the same, we aren't. We clearly have major differences in race. There are a few exceptions though but yeah it isn't hard to see.
But this is why we have tests, it shows a level of competency and how skilled a person is. We have math tests for teachers and try-outs for basketball. What would basket ball be like if we lowered the bar there for white man by literally lowering the regulation height of the hoop? Now that IS lowering the bar, literally.

>What is the approximate mean distance from Neptune to the sun in astronomical units?
Well, let's see. The distance from the Earth to the sun is one AU, and it has an orbital period of one year.
Pluto, I vaguely remember, has an orbital period of something like 270 years.
Pluto's orbit is sometimes inside that of Neptune, but mostly outside. I'll guess that Neptune has an orbital period of 175-200 years or so.
Ok, so let's then assume that the distance from the sun and the orbital period are linearly related - this is a pretty shaky assumption, maybe it is something else, like the square of the distance? But assuming a linear relationship Neptune would be about 175-200 AU from the sun.
If the period is related to the square of distance, it would be more like 13-14 AU but that just seems way too small a number.

Indeed. I still visit there but here has its charm and is more fluid to have conversations evolve instead of being shut down. I just wish that more would stop lurking and start sharing. I have started to keep an adverage of one post a day to bring some life back into MLPOL and starting with local news which I am sure would be interesting to the rest of the world as I know it isn't exclusive to my area. I encourage everyone to do the same.
