Grim News And Hidden Data

While the stock market plummets and businesses continue to die because of local, strangling regulation, let's turn our attention to another happy thought.  District 6 received their CSAP test results for 2010, and the results were horrible.  Furthermore, Greeley Report has never had so much difficulty obtaining comparative results from the State department of education or from the district itself.  How strange.  It seems the Lib Trib got the data, but it hasn't been released to you or me yet.  There is a feeder system from the Lib school district and its data to the Lib Trib that no other newspaper, blog or individual has.  Turds of a feather still flock together.

This is one of the problems.  We are presented with comments all the time, instead of being given the hard facts and then judging for ourselves.  Overpaid superintendent Lang tells us how hard various people are working, and how sad this is.  The Lib Trib tells us this is bad, but not as bad as we might believe.  But where is the data?  We can think for ourselves.  You see, the fact is this.  They don't want you to know.

Tonight there is a school board meeting beginning with a public work session at 4:30, and then the actual board meeting at 7 p.m., at the administration building on Ninth Avenue.  You might want to talk with Broderius, Trimberger, Stack and Kron.  You might want to ask some questions of Lang.  You pay her salary. You have a right to the data.  Get it.  And make them feel the heat. The old "it's the children's fault" blame game doesn't hold water very well.  If it's their fault, then manage the little idiots and call yourselves a daycare.  But don't get paid a six-figure salary in the process.  Heads must roll.

Tyrant Fighter,
Here is a link to the 45 goals.

45 goals and not one of them touches on abortion or drugs.

This all being done by design, the communist agenda is not a conspiravy theory! http://www.therightscoop.com/open-thread-grinding-america-down/

As long as our school system is controlled by liberals the primary focus will be on indoctrination, rather than education. Liberalism is a sickness.

Obvious to anybody with an IQ (Shirley?) is the fact that liberals have controlled politics for the past 60 years.

40 of the last 60 years the democrats have controlled the Senate. 46 of the last 60 years the democrats have controlled the House. 50 of the last 60 years the democrats have controlled either the House or the Senate.

Shirley, congratulations! You finally put forth an idea, rather than continually bash and harangue people that do.

Grades are not an incentive? Scholarships are not incentives? What about pride in doing a good job? What about parenting? Teaching?

I know, lets make the CSAP a video game. I'll bet then we'll get a response.

Shirley, I agree with you. But the performance of the administration and everything they have said has been tied to the supposed improvement of CSAP scores up to this point. Lang got her huge pay increase based on something. So let's find out what is going on. Change CSAP to something like you recommend. It's a great idea. But in the meantime, let's roll some heads in District 6, too. The news isn't good no matter how you slice it.

CSAP is not a very good measure of a school or teacher's performance. Test the same kids, once at the beginning of the year, once at the end. Provide some incentive for the kids to perform well. I'm a genius and would have put forth no effort on a CSAP.
