Published on 2000-12-12 by National Academies Press

The Committee on Educational Excellence and Testing Equity was created under the auspices of the National Research Council (NRC), and specifically under the oversight of the Board on Testing and Assessment (BOTA). The committee's charge is to explore the challenges that face U.S. schools as they work to achieve the related goals of academic excellence and equity for all students. This report provides not only the summary of a workshop held by the forum on the testing of English-language learners (students learning English as an additional language) in U.S. schools, but also a report on the committee's conclusions derived from that workshop and from subsequent deliberations.

Don't you type of hate how we have joined the decadent period of Goodreads where possibly fifty per cent (or more) of the opinions published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now bare and unabashed in their variously powerful efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of pine (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were evenly plainspoke Do not you sort of hate how we have joined the decadent stage of Goodreads where possibly fifty per cent (or more) of the evaluations compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually bare and unabashed in their variously successful attempts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you type of maple (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were consistently plainspoken, only effective, unpretentious, and -- above all otherwise -- dull, boring, dull? Don't you sort of hate when people claim'do not you think in this manner or experience that way'in an attempt to goad you both psychologically and grammatically in to accepting with them? In the words of ABBA: I do, I do, I do(, I do, I do). Properly, as the interwebs is just a earth by which yesteryear stands shoulder-to-shoulder with today's (and with fetish porn), we can review days gone by in its inviolable presentness anytime we wish. Or at the very least until this website finally tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's review of Macbeth in its entirety. I have destined it with much rope and drawn it here for your perusal. (Please understand that many a sic are intended in the following reviews.) its actually complex and foolish! why cant we be studying like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that book is excellent! There you've it. Refreshingly, not really a review prepared in among the witch's sounds or alluding to Hillary and Statement Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal scream unleashed in to the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teenager, but I admire his ability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation by having an economy and a quality that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's report on exactly the same play. You could'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies that he designs problems... which can be the case, for several I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you don't want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it had been designed to be read, then it would be a novel, not a play. On top of that the teach had us students browse the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None folks had browse the play before. None of us wanted to see it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared to be they weren't paying attention. All this compounded to create me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And it also can really fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the writer and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to see plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you have sinned and will hell, if you rely on hell. If not, you're going to the DMV. I'm also tired of whatever you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists along with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a message overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age when we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to expect others tokowtow for your petty linguistic rules. Imaginative term will free of charge per se no matter how you try to be able to shackle it. That may be your own signal, Aubrey. Around our impression, the participate in Macbeth seemed to be your worste peice actually published by Shakespeare, and this says quite a lot thinking of furthermore, i go through his Romeo and also Juliet. Ontop involving it really is currently fantastic piece, naive character types plus absolutly discusting number of ethics, Shakespeare overtly shows Lovely lady Macbeth as the real vilian while in the play. Thinking about she is mearly this tone of voice throughout your back spherical as well as Macbeth themselves can be truely enacting the particular monsterous offenses, including killing as well as scam, I don't understand why it's very simple to assume that will Macbeth would likely be ready to accomplish beneficial as opposed to nasty if only his or her girl had been far more possitive. I really believe that participate in is actually uterally unrealistic. However the subsequent is certainly the particular ne furthermore super connected with traditional e-book reviewing. Even though succinct along with without distracting inclination to be able to coyness and also cuteness, Jo's assessment alludes to a aggression thus deep it is inexpressible. 1 imagines a number of Signet Timeless Versions broken into for you to chunks using pruning shears around Jo's vicinity. I don't really like that play. A case in point of which I cannot actually supply you with every analogies or perhaps similes concerning the amount of My partner and i not like it. A great incrementally snarkier type probably have reported a thing like...'I dispise the following participate in similar to a simile I cannot arise with.' Never Jo. The girl addresses some sort of live, undecorated truth unfit regarding figurative language. Plus there is no problem with that. After around an excellent when, when you buy neck-deep throughout dandified pomo hijinks, it is a fantastic wallow in the hog put in writing you will be itchin'for. Thanks a lot, Jo. I enjoy you and your useless grasping during similes that can't tactic the actual bilious hate with your heart. You will be my very own, as well as I am yours. Figuratively conversing, of course. And today and here is my own evaluation: Macbeth by Bill Shakespeare is best literary work inside The english language words, plus anybody who disagrees can be an asshole along with a dumbhead.
