The principal told both their teachers to make them pass the final promotional assessment. So even that test is a crock.<br /><br />The mayor claims he has stopped social promotion, when all he did was find a way to change how it happens.<br /><br />My principal cut the special ed staff--we used to have 2 SETTS teachers now we are down to one.<br />And the Title 1 Math program is a part-time position run by her friend who gets F-status.<br /><br />A few years ago when the budget got cut again, the GC worked a split schedule between 2 schools. Now they are talking about getting rid of school nurses.<br /><br />When a teacher retired during the year, no one new was hired to replace her. Instead the class was split giving the remaining teachers higher registers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
