For my Civic Issue Blog, I’ve decided to work under the umbrella of education and specifically look into equity when it comes to standardized testing. There’s definitely a lot of information out there about this topic, and there are definitely a lot of specific stats that go along with it. I want to specifically look at how well standardized testing is at accurately depicting education readiness given the rise of things like prep classes, content, and the cost of it all.
As for my passion blog, I have decided to stick to my old topic which was taking on a recipe from a different culture every week. I will continue to make the recipes at home and then write about that experience in my blog post. Something I’d like to touch on more with my blog this semester is the cultural aspect of each dish which is something I haven’t focused enough on in my past posts.
