War On Words: NYC Dept. Of Education Wants 50 ‘Forbidden’ Words Banned From Standardized Tests. 'Dinosaur,' 'Birthday,' 'Halloween,' 'Poverty,' 'Divorce' Among Those Suggested. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/03/26/war-on-words-nyc-dept-of-education-wants-50-forbidden-words-removed-from-standardized-tests/

Cheating has been going on in the Atlanta Public Schools for the past 10 years. Part of the reason for the cheating was to try to close the "achievement gap" between African-American and White/Asian students.  As this is an impossible task, the only way to show progress was to change the scores. Atlanta got caught. But it is my guess they are not alone. Last week, educators from Atlanta's school district were caught in a massive cheating scandal. Investigators exposed that for almost a decade, teachers erased and corrected students' answers on tests in an effort to boost their school's state standardized test scores. An investigative report by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal's office found that over 78% of Atlanta public schools that were part of the investigation were found to be cheating. http://am.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/11/perrys-principles-a-look-at-the-massive-atlanta-cheating-scandal/

The LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) has decided to reduce homework as homework is somehow "racist".  This is in opposition to the Teach For America trend.  Teach For America believes that the way to close the "achievement gap" (none dare say IQ) is to have more school and homework.  Teach For America has stated that reducing homework is racist. The one common theme is that no matter what happens, it is obviously the fault of White people. That they agree on.  Of course, Asians have posed a rather embarrassing problem. Many have come off the boat, poor and unable to speak English. But now Asians are performing at the level of White kids. Polite Society does not discuss the reasons. L.A.'s decision to ease up on homework has ignited a small firestorm among educators across the country, seeing as this particular issue is at the core of America's current K-12 reform movement. Of course, it's easy to say  less busywork the better , and stud...

Kids hoot and yammer so loudly that their ruckus drowns out the teacher. A trash can is overturned in class and dumped. Grimy floors are littered with sunflower-seed shells, spit out by the hundreds. Books and supplies fly out the windows. Mouse droppings are everywhere, even on the computers. MS 344, the Academy of Collaborative Education in Harlem, is a hellhole where teachers should get combat pay -- they are cursed, assaulted and sometimes groped.

The RAMZ Millennium Scholars (RMS) is a scholarship program in response to the Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS). White Students are not allowed to apply for scholarships from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As RAMZPAUL believes that White students also have value as human beings, the RMS program has been created exclusively for White students. Gates won't allow these kids to apply for a scholarship If you believe that White kids also should have scholarship options, please donate to the RMS fund. All money donated will be used to provide scholarships to deserving White children.

Per the Detroit News: The president of the Detroit school board, Otis Mathis, is waging a legal battle to steer the academic future of 90,000 children, in the nation's lowest-achieving big city district. He also acknowledges he has difficulty composing a coherent English sentence. Here's a sample from an e-mail he sent to friends and supporters on Sunday night, uncorrected for errors of spelling, grammar, punctuation and usage. It begins: If you saw Sunday's Free Press that shown Robert Bobb the emergency financial manager for Detroit Public Schools, move Mark Twain to Boynton which have three times the number seats then students and was one of the reason's he gave for closing school to many empty seats.

As American students continue to suck in school, Obama thinks that extending the school year will somehow make our students smarter. Of course, this is the standard liberal solution to any problem – spend more money. And make no mistake - this proposal will cost more money. Don’t think for a moment that the NEA teachers will agree to extend the school year without an increase in pay. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090927/ap_on_re_us/us_more_school Kids that want to learn in the country do very well compared to kids in Japan and China. An extended school year would not be of any advantage to these kids. And the kids that do poorly in school usually don’t give a shit. These are the kids that spend most of the day laughing, throwing things, screaming, etc. To think that extending the school year will somehow make these kids interested in academics is laughable.

Below is an amusing story of how a British kid received GCSE credit for riding a bus. The GCSE are standardized tests that are often requirements for university acceptance. They are somewhat similar to the United States SAT and ACT tests. In order to ensure equal outcomes (usually due to demands to meet diversity quotas) these standardized tests have been dumbed down across the West. Admittance to university was usually only achievable by the brightest of our young. Now universities pretty much accept anyone, especially if it meets some diversity goal. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1206444/Boy-gets-exam-certificate-catching-bus.html

One of Obama’s plans for revitalizing America’s economy is to encourage kids to pursue science and high-tech education. However, the dirty little secret is that these types of jobs are now being off-shored to non-Americans (such as China and India) who will work at a fraction of an America wage. As such, American engineering and computer graduates discover that they have been misled about the America’s need of high-tech graduates. Our leaders have gutted America’s industry and science in the name of flipping a quick profit. As my daughter visited me this weekend, I decided to interview her about science and engineering. Molly is currently a chemical engineering and math major. We also discussed why there is a lack of women in the hard sciences such as math and why Asians are over represented compared to other ethnic groups. *The end of the video is a silly clip of a “stare out” we did last night at dinner.
