New York State Students Competency Assessment

And New York Inspires is extremely inspiring.

And

I am so thrilled that all New York state students will now

be able to demonstrate

their competency, which I know is the expectation, in a manner

that showcases their strengths.

Yes.

And I think that it's very important for people to understand, because there have

been certain comments that have been made

that I completely disagree with, that are

we dumbing down the ability for students? Quite the opposite.

Absolutely.

It's giving the ... I know m- maybe, maybe you've seen the cartoon where you

have a

fish climb a tree.

Mm-hmm.

Well, you don't assess a fish on climbing a tree

because fish can't climb trees,

right?

That's right.

So I am so thrilled about this. I just want to put it out there

and say my question

is answered, and I will give my time back. Thank you.

Thank you. I, I, I'm, I'm gonna remember that one.
