I got other stuff I want to deal with but I would be remiss if I didn't note recent tragic developments on the topic of Kansas City Public Schools . . .
Check it:
- Charter School Faking It: Suspicions raised about Hope Academy’s reportedly strong attendance
- Mayor Sly Still Wants To Be Superintendent: Mayor James takes on education in KC
- Mayor Sly Talks Schools And Reading: Improvise, Adapt & Overcome: An honest discussion about education reform.
- Pass This One Along: KCTV5 Investigates: Schools rarely hold back failing students
The lesson here is that local optimists shouldn't hold their breath while waiting for a public education turnaround that has taken more than 30 years to materialize . . .

Did you see my comments about social promotion a few weeks ago?
ReplyDeleteGee I wonder what most of the administration and students have in common? That's right. They are all Irish.
ReplyDeletePlease don't forget that the KCPS Board Chair, Airick Leonard West, had a warrant for his arrest outstanding until Monday.
ReplyDeleteHe only paid his fines AFTER this website publicized his irresponsibility and failure to be accountable for his actions.
Today, Wednesday November 6, is DAY 3 and Mr. West has yet to resign from the Board. He is indicating to the KCPS staff and students that you can shirk your responsibility and there are no consequences! Teachers, why work hard? Students, why attend class or do homework?
We will continue this count day-by-day until Mr. West experiences a moral breakthrough and begins to lead by example through resigning his post.
None of those stories are about the Kansas City Public Schools. The school faking its attendance is a CHARTER school not affiliated with the KCPS. The channel 5 retention story focused on Independence and mentioned several other districts, none were KCPS. And the mayor's initiative is for ALL schools in the area - there are 10 or more school districts in the city limits.
ReplyDeleteNice try at slamming the KCPS, Tony. But you fail.
12:15-nice work.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up,please.
If the jails pick them up before they graduate then why put someone groomed for prison in with younger kids
ReplyDeleteThey can continue their education in prison.
