Reply to comment by Jordie1010 in Hasidic School to Pay $8 Million After Admitting to Federal Fraud by Jordie1010

The last sentence of the article is also wild.

> In 2019, The Times reported, the Central United Talmudical Academy agreed to give state standardized tests in reading and math to more than 1,000 students. Every one of them failed.

How do you even fail a standardized test? Does that just mean that none of them were performing at their grade level compared to their peers?

They literally dont even teach them the subject. Secular classes are a joke in yeshivahs, and the students know it. It just straight up isn't valued by them.

chasidic yeshivahs*. The yeshivah I graduated from had an average SAT score of around 1400 and 10% of graduates went to an ivy.

They aren’t taught much English, and I’m guessing the standardized tests aren’t available in Yiddish.

How do you pass a standardized reading test, if you cannot read one word of English‽
