People who can’t pass those tests have no place in the classroom. It’s almost insulting how easy they are. I passed the secondary social studies, secondary English, secondary spanish, and plc the first time I took them. That’s not a boast at all either. I was a history major and took all the others just to have options if a history job didn’t open. Any decent high school student could sit down and pass them

The Praxis, which is used in most states, is one of the easiest exams I've ever taken. I aced the content knowledge exams (social studies, English language arts). Yet, there are teachers who have to take the Praxis II PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching, in other words, the "I know how to teach" test) over and over, attending workshops, etc., all the while teaching on a temporary certificate.

Sadly, many of these teachers are fast tracked to administration.

Wow I need to paint my face black and fail a teacher’s exam in NY.


Why not just identify as a black person and identify your residence as NY?

Hahahaha.

I love the fact that those snobby coastal liberal elite fricks will be footing the bill for this with their taxes.

A similar thing happened in St.Louis

The black firemen were 2 stupid to pass the fire test and promotion tests, so they sued, found a bunch of tards(judge and jury) and won.

the test is about the job they do, want, yet it was racist. LOLLOLO


fricking snow flake race needs all the help they can get.

Work with several Elementary teachers who couldn't pass the Praxis - until Covid allowed test taking from home. They all paid someone to take it for them (not sure how that occurred, but they were all suddenly Certified and bragged about paying for it) I passed all Praxis I needed the first time I took them and found them to be quite easy. Of course, these same teachers all have multiple Masters degrees they recieve online. In fact, one has 3 Masters and is almost done with her Doctorate, yet can't pass the content knowledge tests for Elementary. How can these teachers teach their students elementary Math when they can't pass it themselves?

The ultimate participation trophy. Can’t keep up with the rest of the runners? No worries. Go sit in the shade and relax while they all push themselves to finish, and we will throw a few million dollars your way.

This country is lost.

In 2012, Manhattan federal Judge Kimba Wood ruled that requiring teachers to pass the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it wasn’t a proper indicator of better-performing teachers.

She sided with the plaintiffs, who said the test had an illegal “disparate impact” on blacks and Latinos and that the city’s school system was liable for making hiring decisions based on its results.

The city argued it was simply following teaching licensing requirements mandated by the state and didn’t have any authority over the tests. It’s spent decades fighting the case, causing the costs further mount.

Top 10 Payouts to Date:
1-Herman Grim $2,055,383
2-Andrea Durant $1,976,787

You don’t have to be able to spell reparations in order to get them. Maybe now the government will finally get rid of the evil white math, English and science that have been holding back people of color.

Urban communism, the courts will be the source of reparations.

Just fail, sue and get wealthy.

1) Be born wealthy

2) Fail at everything you do, evidently because thats how Minorities get it.
