So by cutting the budget you're going to increase the rate of graduation how?
It must be the teachers fault, they sit around and don't do anything right?

I have NO idea how to increase the graduation rate.
But 25-30% graduation rate is a joke and if they need 10 million so they can finish out the year, whats the total budget for the year ??? |

I'd like to know whats going wrong in the city school systems. 
And I completely agree, 25-30% graduating IS a joke, something is VERY VERY wrong.
Apparently the standardized tests are doing a whole lotta good huh?  |

In my eyes, the problem is that the teachers are forced to make sure the students can pass tests. So rather than spend the day educating the kids and give them a well balanced dose of knowlege, they are giving them the answers to the tests to memorize.
the kids are boored out of their minds because the teachers have less freedom to teach, which is an art form in itself, and loose interest.. then start failing classes... and poof. they drop out.
Parenting is a lost art as well.

I am glad you said in your eyes!!
Because this is way off base! Maybe as a younger child (BTW is huge)
But not in High School.....Where it is much more important to learn.

Are you a teacher VB?
I am only speaking from what I have heard about in the RI school system. But because of the no child left behind rules, testing is such a concern that more emphasis is given in making sure the kids can pass the tests..
Im no expert though..

In my RI town, the children drilled for the standardized tests for three weeks and then only achieve average scores in the 70's. Don't be fooled, the inner citys are not the only problem. What the $#%^ are we getting for the money we are spending? If I performed at that level consistently I would at least not get a raise and most probably be FIRED, not reaping a 3% raise on top of a #$%^&ing step increases and no increase in the cost of my healthcare, how about tying compensation back to performance??
We read to our kids as babies and now they chew through books like they are going out of style, they are creative and perform in school, maybe they are lucky they have a good mother, because it isn't the school system. My oldest takes stuff apart and builds things in his desk during school, no he isn't bored  |

From what Clammer has told me, you should give yourself more credit.  |
