I caught part of that story on the local WCVB-TV (ABC) news tonight.

The graphic they used said students in the Massachusetts city of Chelsea, so sad, were only 23 percent of “meeting or exceeding” expectations.

But the city the newsheads used as a good example (I forget which city) had 47 percent of students who met or exceeded expectations. Yay!

Wait a minute. Fewer than half of these kids met expectations? That’s all?

Public schools suck. No other word for it. The people who work for them can protest all they want, tell us all day how hard they work at teaching our children and how professional they are. But at the end of the day, the schools simply aren’t working. Drastic action is required.

I disagree entirely. Private schools excel on the basis of exclusivity. From my perspective, public schools have an excellent record considering their inclusive admission.
