Education: How Words Hurt

 


In remarks at an Alabama State Board of Education work session that followed comments from two Senate leaders, State Schools Superintendent Eric Mackey said that students in high-poverty schools are showing "remarkable growth" and receiving "Cs" on the report card but remain on the failing list.

"And so, one thing they can do is just shift that language and do away with this bottom 6% that was designed to humiliate schools," he said. "It was designed to humiliate schools and to cause frustration and problems in high-poverty communities so it can be used as an excuse to fund scholarships." (i.e. "Charter School" funding.)

  1. Designed to fail in order to open the public purse to pay for profit schools. The goal seems obvious, elimination of the public school system to insure a true underclass in our society.
