If I understand Ms. Rossiti's position, it is as follows: Her daughter earned "honors" at a Warwick public high school while receiving "...all A’s in other subjects and a solid B in math" in the process; the child spends "hours" doing homework; the daughter could not earn a competency rating on a regional standardized test and, therefore, it is the fault of the test! It is little surprise that Ms. Rossiti seems far more invested in the "self-esteem" of local students than the literacy and employability of local students, since public schools seem far more interested in the former than the latter. Why we are surprised when 75% of entering CCRI students require remedial reading and math? Fear not, as I am certain the Dept. of Ed will 'modify' it's requirement, virtually guaranteeing another generation of Rhode Island young people who feel good about themselves, yet remain hopelessly unqualified to compete in a global economy. But when 1 in 6 RI adults clings to a government payroll, private sector competitiveness does not appear to be a significant priority, anyway.
