[Demosthenes11]

We have a collection of masters+ educated professors that graduate 2-year associate degree students AND make less than those students.

Reason for failing grades? No child left behind, but don't even fucking get me started.

[dejet]

Starting out is hard. You are right. But once you are tenured, its over and you have it easy.

But also how many new teachers do we really get!? Its not the new ones people complain about. One of the reasons for this "busting" is to give new teachers and kids a shot.

I'm not sure how to react to somebody actually seriously thinking this. (am I getting whooshed?)

[Milkster]

Man, all of BG crewin against the GOP as usual.

You sound so stupid.

[Milkster]

What sounds stupid is your deviant lifestyle. I won't judge you though, I'll leave that to Jesus.

You must be trollin'. And didn't Jesus teach acceptance of your fellow man?

Got me grinning, i have to admit it.

[Melena]

unless your gay or believe in another invisible man. Then they should be crucified and burned.

Jesus' fellow man wasn't a homo.

That's like, totally gay, brah.

I trust the GOP to follow what Jesus taught a lot more than I do a sexual deviant. If they say a municipality is insoluble it's probably because it's filled with Democrats and atheists - often one and the same - destroying it from within. Let God-given capitalism clean up that mess, I say.

lol

You're not nearly as good at this as Egon.

I'll start then.

“Wait, someone scores standardized tests? I thought those were all done by machines.” The companies responsible for scoring standardized tests have not yet figured out a way to electronically process the varied handwriting and creative flourishes of millions of third to twelfth graders.

[Todd] Farley now understood the reasons why, when he'd been a scorer, his team leaders would tell the room he wanted to start seeing more 3s or 4s or whatever. Supervisors were expected to turn the test scores into a nice bell curve. If his room did not agree at least 80 percent of the time, the tests would be taken back and re-graded, wasting time and money. The supervisor would be put on probation or demoted.

When Farley complained to a fellow supervisor about his problem, she smiled wryly and held up a pencil.

"I've got this eraser, see," she told him. "I help them out."

So Farley simply began changing Harry's scores to agree with his peers'. The practice soon spread well beyond Harry.

"I'd just change a bunch of answers to make it look like my group was doing a great job," Farley says. "I wanted the stupid item to be done, and so did my bosses."

just to put it plainly, the point of NCLB is to privatize education.

1) you defund education, kinda hard to read when they cut off your light
2) as the bolded quote says ... you just change the scores to fit your message.
3) blame the teachers for the low test scores you just produced
4) convince the parents to pull that "failed school to charter school" trigger
5) rake in their tax dollars

opt your kids out of NCLB: http://bartlebyproject.com/

if you're a student, opt yourself out of them.

although NCLB is setup such that an opt out is counted as a fail, so the teachers still lose

[aurik]

I fully believe we should leave failing children behind.

Not sure if serious...

But, I'll leave this here anyways.

He's not. Correction was right, Egon is better at this.

[Melena]

derpilikemoneyderp is about the only thing I could come up with to support this, so you did much better then I.

[Plow]

Wonder when republican citizens will wake up and realize it's corporations and greed vs the people - that is republican end-game
