This makes perfect sense. If teachers can't meet basic skills standards then it's the exam, not the aspiring teacher that is the problem. One of the biggest problems we have in America is that all kinds of organizations have "expectations" and "standards" instead of respecting such things as a compelling life story or the fact that a given candidate might come from an oppressed demographic. If we get rid of the "standards" then we can make sure that nobody feels left out or otherwise marginalized.Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law Monday the elimination of the state's basic skills test requirement. Passing the exam was previously required for teachers to become certified if they did not score in the top one-third percentile of the SAT, ACT or GRE.
