I went to public school in Wilmington DE.
I’ve been working around the Philly area for about a decade.
My give damn is broken.

If this continues, they will either:

1. Make the test easier or,

2. Do away with tests altogether

In order not to be called “Racist”

This. Why attend school or trade school when your “trade” is already mapped out? Welfare Queen/Drug Dealer/Shoplifter requires no edu-macation nor trade school.

Math is racist. Testing for it is a vestige of white supremacy.

Really????
Hey, go get me 4 boards.
I need 6 lengths of conduit.
Cut me a 10 inch piece of pipe.

Math is essential.
That is why it is racist

I’ve done electrical distribution work in Chester multiple times.
It’s shittier than most of Philly.
The amount of electrical theft is staggering.

I might buy one of those beautiful, and abandoned, row homes that butt up to I-95…

Parents should be suing.

No, parents should be raising teachable children who respect learning. There were 40 kids in my first grade class, and were were reading simple books by the end of the year.

“Learning loss”, maybe the students and the teachers are just stupid.

That’s how the left creates good little Democrat voters. Feed them bad food, ensure they aren’t educated, and blame white people and Republicans.

Interesting. In the 1960s, Schenectady was considered the 2nd best school district in the country.

IF they were taught to be a welder they could make more than many four year college graduates.

Many of the unoccupied houses are stash houses.

Holes between houses are blocked with furniture, so a dealer doesn’t keep the drugs in his house.
They just built, a couple years ago, a new Charter School in Chester.
It’s not even a half mile from those dumps.

They need some five year plans to get the scores below zero.

Together we can do this, comrades!

no, but I know I could teach any non-retarded kid enough to PASS a basic standards test within a week.

It looks like they will need to make high school and college math easier.

We used to have remedial math courses at my university. One student had failed the elementary school math course six times.
