Richmond Heights Elementary in hopes of improving the students reading and FCAT scores by implementing the Read to Achieve program. In a surprise visit, Howard talked to students about the importance of reading and challenged them to read more books</div> LINK Nice to see Juwan doing something for the kids in Florida. I just wished they'd just bann FCAT I hate it.
Yep. FCAT is gay. I'm just glad I passed and won't ever take it again. Again shows why Juwan is a class guy and a good role model. I just wish that he would play for a winning team sometime, so he doesn't have that chip on his shoulder.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TMac_OwNz:</div><div class="quote_post">lol he does...anyways FCAT is so easy... just pass it and forget about it lol..</div> It's easy but it's pointless. all it does is determine a teacher's salary and that school's grade. It's a waist of time.
Juwan just completed a 100+ million dollar deal, so yeah he does have some money. I wonder if he'll keep the school if he gets dealt.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TimFlem:</div><div class="quote_post">Man I seen him on TV today and he had some ICE. I didn't know he had that type of money.</div> that's a joke, right?

The FCAT is detrimental to Florida's public school system. I just graduated from high school last year and had to take that joke of an exam in 10th grade. Teachers and schools are so incredibly obsessed with the FCAT because if the students do well on it they get bonuses, more funding, raises, etc. so more than half the school year is spent doing BS work trying to prepare for the FCAT instead of REAL learning. Instead of learning things, you just do worthless worksheets and practice lessons, no real learning or effort is involved. The FCAT is a joke and serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and to top it off it's not even hard at all, infact you've got to be a complete moron to do poorly on it. The FCAT is one of the underlying reasons why Florida's public school system ranks among the worst in the country, and it seems the only people that realize this are the students. But yeah, it's good to see Juwon doing good things in the community, he always seemed like he was one of the few "good guys" in the NBA.
