[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]and if a school is failing its students they need to either bolster their program or let someone else handle it. That's MY deep sentiment [/quote]

This is the scary part.  You are threatening by using these words.  You are asking for a punitive action to be taken.  You are not saying, "We want to understand why the failures are occurring and find solutions that are appropriate to a given situation or given circumstances."  You are sending the message "Do what we tell you to do or we will fire you."  Guess what outcome you are going to get by continuing with this strategy?  Hint:  You are seeing the outcome now.

Jesus fucking Christ.  YES, it's a threat, and obviously you've never worked a day in the private sector because out in the real world you DO get fired for failure.  Failure should be dealt with.  But it hasn't.  Millions of kids all around the country are graduating from high school unable to make change, unable to use proper grammar or put together a coherent sentence, unable to point out the Pacific Ocean on a world map, unable to discern whether Abraham Lincoln was one of the Founding Fathers or not.  This has been going on for the last couple of decades, and it was NOT dealt with.  What IS your proposal?  What IS your fix?  You've already had decades to deal with it, but you've come up empty.  People like you need to take off your rosy colored glasses and get a serious reality check.[/quote]
