The public schools in Washington, D.C., spent $29,349 per pupil in the 2010-2011 school year, according to the latest data from National Center for Education Statistics, but in 2013 fully 83 percent of the eighth graders in these schools were not "proficient" in reading and 81 percent were not "proficient" in math.
These are the government schools in our nation's capital city — where for decades politicians of both parties have obstreperously pushed for more federal involvement in education and more federal spending on education.
Government has manifestly failed the families who must send their children to these schools, and the children who must attend them.

Sounds like Maryland schools. Especially in Wicomico County where they fudge the numbers.

ReplyDeleteI just saw where Chuck Cook liked Al Franken on FB and is trying to get people to sign a petition for a Constitutional Amendment against Citizens United. I have an idea Chuck why don't you and Obama just plain and simply honor the Constitution.

Al Franken
Corporations are NOT people. Al Franken supports a constitutional amendment that overturns Citizens United and returns power to (actual) people. Join Al and sign this petition if you do too.
BTW Al Franken is a closet Homo. Funny how Chuckie Poo is attracted to those kinds.
8:39 Anyone with half a brain knows Chuck is a closet Communist!
ReplyDeleteHe claims he is not but everything he supports and aspires to is the brainchild of Carl Marx!
He is a Communist and to stupid to even know it!
But, back on topic here... Exactly what is the racial demographic of Washington D.C.?

I have to agree with you about Chuck Cook.
But... I am sure you know what the racial demographics are.
Hey Chuck why are you against normal people? Does that mean you are not normal? I mean after all you call Republicans Tea Baggers and ironically Tea Bagging is what you and Jimbeau do.
