-----Since when did being poor make you stupid? Low income is the LIBERALS' new money extraction propaganda tool. The fact is, inferior public schools manufacture ignorant adults who can't get out of poverty and escape the "helping hands" of socialists. They raise generation after generation of ignorant constituents programmed to buy into the lies spewed out by public school unions and the Democratic Party. Keep them dumb, depressed, dependent and Democrat, that's the agenda of the Left.
Community colleges are expert at remedying academic deficiencies.
------As in "rotten teaching!"
It is likely that the Board of Higher Education will allow students to take seats in community colleges without regular diplomas provided they fulfill all graduation requirements except passing the MCAS.
----Translation: Phony grades will get you into college.
Still, federal education officials must be persuaded to provide financial aid in the form of Pell grants, even for students who lack regular diplomas.
----Why even have diplomas? Why not just drop this judgmental bar?
On Monday the business-backed group Mass Insight Education is expected to publish a survey of 140 juniors who failed the MCAS. The students attribute their failure largely to erratic attendance and lack of effort. .......... there is still time for struggling members of the class of 2003 to get on the main track.
----The hell with consequences, give them all A+ and send them on their way.
Translation: Phony grades will get you into phony colleges.
Money is not the problem. Per-pupil educational expenditures in most large cities is around $10,000/year, comparable to the wealthiest suburbs.
How insensitive of the Board to require attendance as a graduation requirement.
