Seattle Teacher Says Tests Kill Learning
from The Trump Blog
by Donald J. Trump

A sixth-grade teacher in Seattle was suspended for refusing to give his students a federally-mandated standardized test.

Science teacher Carl Chew said for years he watched his students suffer with test anxiety. Some, he said, got physically sick and others actually cried. He said the test created an atmosphere he called “rife with fear,” so he just decided not to give it.

This didn’t sit well with his principal who suspended him for nine days without pay for insubordination.

The teacher’s actions made him a hero for a lot of parents who sent him letters from as far away as Hawaii and Canada. A lot of people think the tests are harmful to students because of all the pressure put on them by schools, teachers and sometimes parents.

But others argue that we need some way to know where students stand academically.

There are several teachers across the country who have taken a stand like this Seattle teacher. His act will cost him about $1,000 dollars. It may go on his permanent record and, ultimately, he could lose his job.

I applaud him for standing up for what he believes in but he has to be ready for his consequences. The fact of the matter is...he didn’t do his job so he might have to hear the words, “You’re fired.”



Donald J. Trump is Chairman of Trump University.

For my view, i would say what Mr.Trump is right. He point out what is the education system is going wrong. Our country education system is teaching the people to be the machine without creative thinking.



1980 generation is less creative thinking, less common sense. Only the thing they know is how to enjoy their life without thinking about their retirement, their future.



All those caused by our government which is only care about they needs and money. Our government NEVER think about how to increase our people international view and thinking, how to make Malaysians more creative, efficiency. You all must ask why, simply because they want keep they place luxury and don't want they place to be sink. When the people is prepare by the thing as i describe before, the ruling government will change to opposition, its mean current government will no longer as government. This is one of the way to keep them safety, people without high sense with not going to make demonstration and changes.



The hope is only by ourselves, means we have to upgrade our mentality and intelligence.



That all is my view.

Thanks and Regards
