The embattled No Child Left Behind effort took another blow this week at the same time the Montgomery School Board used it to clean house at an embattled Montgomery County/City High School.
When was it that Lee had a great tradition? Do the teachers bear all of the responsibility for the situation? None of the students? None of the parents of those students? None of the taxpayers who provide barely enough money for public education?

- Then, according to a story on WNCF ABC-32, the Board started firing teachers and administrators at Lee High School today---tenure or not---something NCLB allows.
“Lee has a wonderful tradition,” Thompson said in a press release. “We are focusing on restoring that tradition by putting the programs and the people in place that will provide students with the instruction, tools, and student/teacher relationships needed to succeed.”

Aren't teachers under yearly contract for the academic year?
ReplyDeleteLook for lawsuits on this one.
This is actually a good thing, none of those teachers, but a few, cared about giving the students education and I've heard that they've told the students that they only do it for the pay check. Good looking out MPS, get those rotten b*stards out of was once a great school.

ReplyDeleteDavid, what's a legal eragle?
ReplyDeleteSomething the Attorney General's office ought to be looking at?
