If she can't pass the test after 38 tries, how can she be bright enough to the the assistant? Janitor maybe?
Unbelievable, but it explains why public education is in the shape it is in!
Can't you just smell the discrimination lawsuit baking in the kitchen?
38 times? I fail a test once, I lose my job 38 times?
The superintendent of the Lawrence, MA schools failed a simple literacy test THREE times! He’s STILL superintendent!!
(The state changed the test after he failed to make it easier...)
OK, seriously, this is government for you; how did this get to go on this long to start with for this so-called Principal?
Does an elementary school principal need an assistant? In the local schools the nearest equivalent is the school secretary and the primary function is not helping the principal.
that is the very same reason why the schools keep screaming for money. Each one of those Assistant principals makes in the neighborhood of 80 to 100,000.00.
oops, 80 to 100,000.00 per 9 month year.
She may not know squat about literacy or history, but I’ll bet a c-note she can tell us all about safe sex and global warming.
SFPD recruits take 30+ tests during their 31 weeks at the academy. If one gets below 80% on a test that is considered failing. One re-test of a failed test is allowed. Get below 80% on it and you are out of the academy. There are up to 5 re-tests allowed atogether, then you are out.
Don’t think this is too easy. They have to learn mountains of stuff about the law.
Probably also an expert on intolerance, discrimination and self esteem enhancement.

How the hell did she get the job before passing the test first?
Oops, too many buttons on this mouse.
Oh well, everything I say is of such value that it ought to be said twice [just kidding]
Mayhap she can become part of the Guinness book of records.
Isn’t it wonderful how great the success of the Kennedy-Bush education legislation has been. It makes us proud to have been a party to this great work of bi-partisanship. (sarc)
Don't you mean "Mitt Romney"? I used to get Howie Carr locally, and he was on this a few times.
Seems it’s becoming epidemic!

Kathleen Sullivan is a noted constitutional scholar who has argued cases before the Supreme Court. Until recently, she was dean of Stanford Law School. In legal circles, she has been talked about as a potential Democratic nominee for the Supreme Court. But Ms. Sullivan recently became the latest prominent victim of California’s notoriously difficult bar exam. Last month, the state sent out the results of its July test to 8,343 aspiring and already-practicing lawyers. More than half failed — including Ms. Sullivan.
But those in charge of educating our children are allowed to fail 37 + times?
