What should America do about its worst public schools? States still don’t seem to know.
President Barack Obama devoted billions of dollars to a push to turn around the bottom 5 percent of schools. On average, test scores, graduation rates and college enrollment were no different in schools that received the money than in those that did not. Where did all the money go? What did it accomplish?
In many places, schools widely acknowledged to be failing were allowed to continue plodding along, using the rhetoric of local control as an excuse for inaction in schools that are struggling. Each struggling school faces unique circumstances, in their view, and deserves a tailored solution shaped by community input? Parents have been asking for better child education forever.
Look at what is the constant ... tenured teachers is a policy that restricts the ability to fire comfortable teachers and provides job security at the expense of the students education. History will continue to repeat itself until educational unions and tenure policies are broken and discarded. Teachers unions applaud a hands-off approach ... tells you all you need to know. Maybe we can send them more billions of dollars?
“I suspect we’ll see most states and districts just go through the motions.” ... year after year with the same teachers protected under union contracts. Sorry kids ... they won't fire your comfortable teacher, or allow you to transfer out to a charter-school, or convert your school to a charter school managed by a charter school operator.
Maybe all the parents who care are already home schooling their kids?

Thanks. How is their curriculum? Do they try to pass off anything like climate change, common core, or CE dating? {nm} Aug 07, 22:23
