Dumbing down the Soros children.
While the government continues to wonder why those that can send their children to private schools and want their taxes back from the public school funding!
Yep NATIONAL SCHOOL VOUCHERS ARE needed!! Stop the indoc of our kids to the marxist ideals and Take back our school system. It obvious the system is broken. No God, No country, no skills is what we are sowing. You read,hear, and see what we are reaping. Dumb voilent lost and uneducated kids.
And none of them had Home Economics or Shop classes, either, which would have at least taught something useful and practical.
No. 1: NYC Public Schools Spent $24,109 Per Pupil; But 72% Not Proficient in Reading, 72% Not Proficient in Math
But Donna Hanlin is demanding that the County Council pony up an additional $7.5 Million Dollars for their "universal PreK" program.
Watch out for John Cannon, he is working with Mike Dunn and Bill Chambers to make this happen.
And they always think more money will solve the issue.
No matter how much they spend on students, nothing will change until the teachers are forced to perform. Nothing screams teacher incompetency more than those scores. Teacher pay should be based on performance. But watch all the teacher unions fight that. The private sector can do a better job, for far less money. Boston should just close the public schools if that's the best they can do with taxpayer money.
Poor performance means firing the imbecils and no more money until performance and grades rise significantly.
All this means in Maryland and Wicomico County is "free" community college. Believe that
Genes of the demographics composition of the student body and probably most of the faculty should be considered. NW Islander.
You sound like an idiot. The teacher is responsible for everything. Doesn’t start at home right? I (me) am responsible for teaching my own child while I expect his teacher to build upon that foundation that we payed at HOME. Guess it’s the teachers fault the students have behavior problems too..sounds like you were a great teacher, lol!!
Duh..
Rading, writing, math, and science are not taught any longer.
Cultural pride. Self-esteem. Being "yourself".
Straight "A"'s on that.
Then they are graduated and enter the real world.
No one hires them. It's because they are black. Or Hispanic. Or gay.
It's NOT because they can't read or write and think that going to work with a pink mohawk and a nose ring is normal.
oh no.
Its racism and whatever else is the latest excuse for being stupid and ineligible for employment.
Reading and writing is so overrated.
Keep cheering.
