Hey, the future ACORN workers and Democrat ballot box stuffers have to learn their trade somewhere!
“Howard Johnson is right!”
makes me wonder how many parent/teacher conferences they found the time to make it to.
Does anyone know of a another school, one predominately white, where parents have supported massive cheating on the same scale as this school, West Manor Elementary School, in Georgia?
Their hero, Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama got to the Oval Office through affirmative action policies and forged documents, so why should cheating be wrong?
Take Back AMERICA! Restore The Constitution!
FUBO GTFO 2012 !
Wow.
Where are those missing 300 parents?
Trading Asian futures in the overnight markets?
Working late on a big contract?
Working a second job to support their families?
Playing video games?
You decide.
These people are of a completely alien culture that is downright hostile and often violent toward Western civilization.
Actually, I spoke to all 300 of them, and they all told me that they want the school officials tarred and feathered in public for their support of cheating.
Hey, if we're going to "speak for" the people who are not present, why can't I join the party?
What the story doesn't tell you is that the young lad was 20 years old at the time.
Atlanta City Schools are predominantly black. Their parents believe that whites get by solely by ‘cheating’ so it is okay for their children....racist, maybe....that still doesn’t change things?
Yeah, well, there's always one that slips through the cracks.
If the pubic schools are so great in Atlanta, why did the teachers need to cheat?
This is a joke, right?
Please tell me that this is a joke...
If the teachers were so swell, why did they need to cheat?
The sheeple are baaaaaing
Quinnie Cook-Richardson, ...spoke at the meeting.Not bad Quinnie , except he's 16 and in the 7th Grade!
Her son’s teacher had him reading within a year, she said, adding, “They are an example of what is right with Atlanta Public Schools.”
"Series', our Grandson was reading before he went to Kindergarten. And the only problem he had was with four syllable words. Now that Quinnie is an example of what a PARENT does for her children, help them learn and not wait on the gubmint to teach your spawn. Who by the way -- still have to CHEAT in order to pass a Standards Test. So YOU and your ilk are what is WRONG with Atlanta and its Public Schools.
Now go away and shut up.
Fine fine, defend yo school. Just know that when your kid tries to rob me I’m going to blow a whole through him the size of a basketball. We cool?
I was very surprised to read a parent survey taken a few years ago taken in a failing school. The demographics were white, black, and Latino. Although the school was failing, all parents across all ethnicity pretty much said the same thing - they were pleased with the performance of their students and schools.
I was shocked and very disappointed - how will our schools improve if the parents don’t clamor for it? I came to the conclusion then that it’s the result of PR.
It looks like a public school and it holds class sessions punctually. It has school dances and sporting events. It has honor students and valedictorians, just like adequately performing schools. Administrators tell them the same things that administrators tell parents at other schools. Their students are getting good grades and although the kids are complaining about teachers they don’t like and having to do homework, they are usually keeping up in their studies - this has given parents the impression that students are receiving a proper education. Aside from state’s criterion referenced tests (where the goal posts are not moved, tests are not scored on the bell curve) the rest of the year parents, teachers and students all are saturated in the promoted belief that they are the brightest, finest, and receiving a good education. There is an unwillingness to release the 95% impression generated by the echo chamber (great school and excellent students) to take hold of criterion referenced reality (your kid can’t do what other kids her age can do in math, English, science etc.)
Some of the teachers play victim cards throughout the year (with the few, unappreciated achievers working themselves into the ground trying to raise underprepared students up to perform AT LEAST near the grade level) and show parents how hard they work to provide ‘the finest education’ despite the ‘miniscule pay’ and all that overtime. But this was taking place in an epic landscape of academic failure - leaving the school’s students catastrophically unprepared for life after high school with minority students a few more grade levels behind white students who were also a few grade levels behind other schools in other states. So upon graduation - the students will not thrive although the white students may do marginally better and overall, both parents and students don’t know why they can’t find a job or decent wages- but the Sharpton race hustlers will tell the minorities it’s discrimination.
