I am a product of the NYC educational system ablative Brooklyn.

I am a tester, my daughter is not. I have been poked and prodded like a guinea pig by educators from the sixties who's racist tenets tried to prove, blacks aresmarter than your average bear, or whites arenot smarter than your average bear.

By the time I got to Florida and advanced placement (AP) testing, me and my classmates competed for 3s, 4s and 5s. My daughter and her classmates get 1s and 2s. I wouldgladlygive her my US history credits I did not sit through, if it would not hurt her GPA. She's still in high school. But by now, she needs to take her own US history course, get good grades and boost her own GPA. Doesn't matter if she's a tester or not. Did not help me one bit.
