Talking in “txt msg speak” on tests
This week’s carnival of education (a weekly compilation of the best education blog posts from last week) hosted at What it’s like on the inside highlights this post from Ms. Cornelius about a decision in New Zealand to allow students to write in “text speak,” an abbreviated language for communicating on cell phones and in computer chats, on national exams.
What are the chances states in the U.S. would ever allow that on state tests? (I think the chances in Ohio are roughly zero percent).
