LOL, yep, exactly. The teachers presumably have college degrees. Well, if they are able to graduate college but then can't pass a test with elementary level math standards, something is seriously wrong. Either the teacher training programs are incredibly dumbed down and anyone who has a pulse can graduate, or something is very wrong with the tests. But what? My kids seem to always do well on them, no matter how dumb they may be. But teachers with high school and college degrees can't pass them?
