Firing ALL the teachers seems like a bold move, but I guess it's the trend to do it now. Just wondering if it's the right solution.
I would like to know the demographics. Teachers can't perform miracles.
...because if there are a lot of blacks, then there really is no hope, right?
Maybe she meant they were all Joos, or Koreans?
Firing ALL the teachers seems like a bold move, but I guess it's the trend to do it now. Just wondering if it's the right solution.
I wonder if its as much a trend, or form of last resort.
NCLB was made law in 2001.
It calls for YEARS of testing, improvement, testing, improvement, restaffing, improvement,......testing, improvement.
Eventually, after so many cycles, the only choice is burn the school down with or without the teachers inside.
I think firing them was the more humane choice.
ATLANTA A failing Savannah high school is firing its entire staff in an effort to avoid further sanctions from the state and to make the school eligible for up to $6 million in federal money, officials said Thursday.
The 200 employees at Beach High School including the principal will work there through the end of the year but will not be rehired for that school, said Karla Redditte, spokeswoman for the Savannah-Chatham County school district.
The teachers can reapply for their jobs but only half can be rehired under federal education law, she said. Staff can also apply for other jobs in the school district.

Does anyone really think a new staff will turn this school around?
Don't they have NCLB to thank for this?
OK, explain to me how students with IQ's of 56 to 77 are expected to pass the state standardized tests, since NCLB (as written) had a 100% Benchmark that ALL Students would pass by 2013.Firing ALL the teachers seems like a bold move, but I guess it's the trend to do it now.

Aren't you glad you got out of teaching then?

To thank for what, being shitty teachers or getting fired?
Regardless, I'd say they get all the credit themselves.

Thank goodness they have a big tourism market in Savannah, bartending is good money!
Lighten up, it was just a question.
No, it wasn't "just a question," and even if it was, the answer is in the link.
The question about there being a better option goes unanswered in favor of stupid menstrual and digestive speculation.
I'm really not surprised.
You need to take a poop?

For the shitty teachers or the failing students?

First, the 100% passing by 2013 cannot possibly be a "benchmark." It is a "goal."
Next, I believe the "passing" you're referring to means "graduation rate."
Passing the State Standardized test is not a requirement for graduation. In fact, I'm not even aware of anyone failing even one subject because of their score on the state standardized test.

Last time I was in Savannah, it wasn't the bartenders taking my money.

I don't know why my principal keeps harping on this then in staff meetings........100% of students meeting state standards, meaning they have to pass the standardized tests.

Well, its a requirement of NCLB.
Frankly, I be surprised if the principal of any school would focus on Special Ed kids holding the school hostage from meeting AYP. In fact, I'd be tickled pink if the ONLY kids not meeting state standards by 2013-2014 are SpEd.
