[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 17:38 -- let's back track to middle school, please. Fire the principal who graduates an 8th grader into HS who is not prepared. Back track further, fire the Primary grades principal who graduated the children to 6th. On another vein, let's backtrack to the empty valor of Rhee/Kaya when they stormed into town --They talked and talked about cutting the "fat" from DCPS central and putting $$$ into one of the only viable solutions to improve the achievement gap -- "wraparound services". Oh, yeah. Our pal Rhee and her deputy Kaya were going to ensure those critical hours between 3:30 and 6 were catching up the kids who do not have financial advantages at home, and it was going to be even across town. Hmmm….At Oyster-Adams Rhee's buddy Monica Aguirre (wife of former DPR head Jesus who magically has made it to Superintendent of State for DC) allowed a 2-tier after care program to run for years, one that sucked and was free and one that didn't suck that certain parts of the Oyster population could afford. Hmmm. How are the after care programs in all wards these days? There's the critical hours, folks. 3:30 to 6, primary school, and DCPS central must have just made up all that when they rode in on their horses.[/quote] NO, Fire the administrator who makes the rule that principals have to promote kids who aren't prepared without noting it or providing remedial work - or wrap-around services. Fire the administrator who spends millions on a dubious evaluation system, then fires teachers based on it, hires untested teachers in their place and blows it off when the scores don't rise. Fire the administrator who demands principals raise the scores by an unrealistic percentage then don't consider that they cheated when the scores soar in just one year. Then when the scores dive the following year, the administrators fire teachers, but do nothing for the kids who still can't read and were just used as pawns to make the administrators look good. Fire the administrator who set up a bonus system for highly effective teachers that winds up giving bonuses to teachers of the kids who are easiest to teach, because they don't have chaotic home lives, and provide no bonus to teachers who struggle with the neediest kids who don't score very well on standardized tests. I could go on.[/quote]
