Idiot Teacher Asked 4th-Graders to Give 3 Good Reasons for Slavery

34. Smells of standardized testing

I don't live in Wisconsin, but down here, this would smack of standardized testing. They have very structure lesson plans to prepare them for the standardized tests. So every class, every topic, every lesson is suppose to have similarly structured questions and assignments.

I can just see the teachers instructions saying, "on each topic, have the student name three things that are positive, and three things that are negative, and have them prepare these positions and be able to verbally explain them".

So on one day it's westward expansion, on another it's the industrial revolution, and on this day it's slavery. Brainless guidance from brainless administrators to raise brainless children to do brainless work in minimum wage jobs.

But I'm just guessing.
