"What brought me down was the rules of grammar and punctuation,".....

As this sentence illustrates.

This guy will keep his job because he "is Hispanic enough," yet Miguel Estrada is being pilloried for his achievements in life! (Someone tell Laboy what pilloried means).

Nobody in Massachusetts will lay a finger on this guy, who is clearly a diversity hire. Sickening. I hope he doesn't have direct contact with the children.

Since 1998, all Massachusetts educators -- from teachers to superintendents -- have had to pass the Communications and Literacy Skills Test, which measures basic reading and writing skills, including vocabulary, punctuation, grammar, spelling and capitalization.

Laboy, who receives a 3 percent pay hike this month that will raise his salary to $156,560, recently put 24 teachers on unpaid administrative leave because they failed a basic English test.

I wodner how many chances the 24 got to pass. Bet it wasn't this many! Maybe Laboy and the 24 teachers could have an Ebonics shootout to see who gets to keep their job.

And people wonder why I walk around shaking my head!

You too? I keep wondering how it can be true that people like this man are drawing huge salaries to "educate" our young people and yet he himself could not pass the final exam that I took to graduate HIGH SCHOOL in one of the poorest counties in SC forty one years ago.
