Amelia, The lady{?} running Maryland schools {Nancy Grasmick} is said {by her former husband} to have "aced" ALL of her schooling. She is now making over 100 grand, and has introduced some of the most moronic programs in Maryland schools that one would think possible. Including "inventive" spelling, and the most onerous M.S.P.A.P. {Maryland State Performance Assessment Program} Test that is very subjective in it's questions and thereby in it's answers and "grading". Stone cold objectivity is no longer the norm in education as it should be.

She also submarined the Calvert Curriculum that worked VERY WELL in 2 "disadvantaged" Baltimore City Elementary schools. Children AVERAGED 32 POINTS above the national average on standardized tests out of California, But, according to Grasmick, "That's not right, and must be changed." One wag in Baltimore said, "We can't be teaching this 'elite' curriculum to OUR kids."

So, with the obvious intelligence running the school systems, is coordinated stupidity at such levels of intelligence possible, or, is what's happening in so called education today just plain planned ordinary EVIL??? Peace and love, George.

Who hired the woman, and why aren't Baltimore taxpayers revolting?
