  1. No matter where you measure it, DAFNz are LOOZerz:

    ****************************** Tuesday, January 6, 2004 Closing the gap

    The achievement gap, shown by results from the state's mandatory reading exams in 2003, is large
    ...about 94 percent of the district's white students passed the third-grade tests compared with
    69 percent of African-American children and 61 percent of Hispanics. The results for all grade
    levels in the county reveal slightly smaller gaps, largely because of remediation efforts after
    third grade.
    *********************************************************************

    I'd love to see the "remediation efforts" they're talking about. Probably consists of forcing the
    poorer 3rd grade DAFNz to drop out...the secret of doing well on the 4th grade tests is not to let
    the pproblem kids get to the 4th grade...

    Quote from US Secty of Education DAFN Rod Paige on his forcing 9th grade DAFNz to dropout of
    school as a Houston administrator...

    Of course! It's not just test scores we're talking about. It's the elimination (or at least the
    reduction,) of the deleterious effect imposed upon those who would learn by those who cannot.

    Of course our teachers, graduates of the current nonsensical, irrational, fad-driven schools of
    education, who believe that pedagogic skills (i.e., one's ability to function well as a prison
    guard,) are more important than MERE CONTENT KNOWLEDGE would disagree.

    For these pathetic souls, teaching IS classroom management. If it were ever the case that teaching
    WERE content knowledge, they would all be flipping burgers.

    I could produce one thousand Ph.D.'s in maths & sciences within 30 days to teach schools if
    disruptive students were expelled. They would do a better job of teaching the remaining students.

    The only reason the current teachers exist, in spite of their pathetic qualifications (e.g., only a
    B.Sc. in their area,) is because knowledge is unimportant - only classroom management and "feel
    good" watered down, flabby, useless curricula.

    If mathematics were a color, what color would it be? I have had gifted classes (grade 10) who do not
    understand the proper use of parentheses in simple arithmetic expressions, e.g., 10(1+1)=10*1+1 =
    101. In this example, a gifted class had a 54% correct response.

    I am sorry for ranting, but this is intolerable. Our schools of education must be expunged. Even
    then, it will probably take at least four generations to repair the damage done to the United States
    of America. Some would call it TREASON!
