I wonder how many of them speak the American language.
Key take-away -- There are two ways you can get ready for college:
1) You can act white
2) You can be lucky
Hard work? Self-reliance? Solid family background? Hey now -- don't go all racist on me!!!!
This in a state which spends the most per pupil in the country, in a country which spends the most per pupil in the world.
Of course PATERSON is probably an ABBOT School District, which means the taxpayers in the rest of the state get to FUND this “education” per an unlawful edict of the State Supreme Court no governor or legislature in the state has had the courage to defy!
That will help you pass the S.A.T.
Clearly, the big problem in this community is police brutality. Let’s spend billions to combat it.
As far as I’m concerned Tamara Laine, the author of the piece, flunked her own little journalism test by failing to mention or even allude to the total number of students.
19 out of how many, Tamara?
100? 1000? 10000? 100000?
Or maybe you just can’t deal with numbers higher than 19?
“These kids who are now seniors have gone through seven superintendents in their tenor at Paterson public schools...”
So, Paterson has tenor superintendents. Do they also sing for tax dollars?
How about altos and sopranos? I want baritone superintendents, too.
Hahahaha!
Dean Wormer: Where are the other two—Stratton and Schoenstein?
Hoover: We can’t find them, sir. We looked everywhere, but—
Dean Wormer: Never mind. Did you boys see your midterm grades yet?
Hoover: They’re not posted yet, sir.
Dean Wormer: I’ve seen them. Mr. Kroger, two C’s, two D’s and an F—that’s a 1.2 grade point average. Congratulations, Kroger, you’re at the top of the Delta pledge class.
[Bluto gives Kroger a congratulatory nudge]
Dean Wormer: Mr. Dorfman.
Flounder: Hellooooo.
Dean Wormer: 0.2. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Hoover, president of Delta House—1.6. Four C’s and an F. A fine example you set. Daniel Simpson Day has no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Blu— [looks up to see that Bluto has stuck pencils up his nose] Mr. Blutarsky. 0.0.
A couple important pieces of information were left out of this article. First, how many Paterson high school students actually took the SAT? Surely all Paterson students didn’t take the test. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if most of the junior and senior class didn’t take the test. Generally those not bound for college don’t bother taking the SAT. That is, unless taking the SAT is required by the state or school district. Of course, we have no idea whether the SAT is required or not because the article doesn’t tell us.
sounds about on par for the dem plan
educate them enough to barely function in order to either end up in poverty... or just above.
this will result in those people requiring government assistance just to survive.
and who do you think they’ll vote for when they need more govt assistance?
yup... you guessed it. the same people that made sure they got the minimal education in the first place.
On the bright side, they are getting wholesome, nutrious Wookie-lunches.
I wonder how many of them speak the American language.
Bad schools. Need more money. Whitey to blame. Racism.

I missed the number of how many kids took the test. 19 out of how many?
Really????
Too bad collages and universities do.
Want a chance for you kid in this district or most inner cities???? Home school!
I went to the Eastside High School’s (in Paterson)web site. Their Vision is to be the statewide leader in urban education. Sadly, they just might be.
This is America’s future.
