They’re going to do it anyway. Why not give classes on how to cheat on tests?

And then they wonder why Sandy Springs and the rest of the “plantation” deserters have incorporated their cities, Ironically enough, the “plantation massers” are now suing those cities trying to get them back on the “plantation”.

What exactly was the Department of Education designed to do? What exactly does it do? /s

When NJ schools do not meet standards the state takes over. Trenton, Jersey city.

Texas influences text book contents.

Hey, they were just answering their critics. Their critics demanded accountability—show us test scores so we’ll know how well the students are doing.

And they delivered the test scores—government school style.

Government schools are like government anything—FAIL.

Two interesting details to this story is first of all, it was a newspaper investigation that touched off the probe.

The other is a child that went from the worst reader in the class to an easy pass in a subsequent assessment, which her mother questioned, but was brushed off by the school authorities. The mother is upset because now the kid is having a tough time, being in a higher grade than she should be.

Said a parent of her child, “...in ninth grade, reading at a fifth-grade level.”

Nothing unusual about that. Check the slack jawed, glazed eyed, ‘graduates’ slouching across the stage at the next graduation ceremony at all too many pooblik screwel collectives in your community.

Try three at random, then quibble.

When teachers take money and not do not educate, they are committing fraud, improper enrichment, ad nauseam. Sue ‘the commies.

If they have been teaching communism as Bill Ayres suggested, their teaching is a form of advocacy. If they have worked to advance communism, and their classroom efforts make this irrefutably clear, they their classroom activities have been treasonous.

TREASONOUS is the word, as advancing communism in the classroom is giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

For the forgetful, or the deliberately devious/duplicous, communism IS America's enemy.

And the politicos and the edukators would only make you believe all we need to do is pay them more money to solve our education woes. And the only result is more corruption and ineptitude.

And these racists complain about ‘Super-white majority’ cities...

Can’t have vouchers in the District of Columbia. Some of those urban youth might apply to Sidwell Friends.

Some of us warned about this kind of crap when state and municipal governments began tying school funding and teachers’ salaries to student performance. Much as we like to think that performance-based compensation is a good idea (and it is, in most industries), there is a huge moral hazard associated with it. This case is a perfect example of it.

Hahahaha—this is going to cost the Atlanta school district millions more. I believe her contract had a little clause stipulating they would pay attorneys fees. You get what you vote for and Atlanta has been run by fools for years by the nitwits that keep electing them. My gut tells me this chic will walk instead of Atlanta spending the big bucks.
