How can the Board NOT fire MGJ immediately...WOW!!! How can the Board NOT fire MGJ immediately?<br /><br />The piece in the Times.... goes right to the heart of what M. DeBell said should not be happening ... but MGJ is doing it again.<br /><br />Note:<br />The Superintendent is quoted in the Seattle Times article “Seattle schools chief apologizes for false figure”:<br /><br />In the future, she said, the district will make sure that all definitions of the numbers in its reports are "crystal clear." To that end, she said, the district wanted to make it clear that,<b><i> in its new school reports, it measured test-score gains based on students' performance compared with their academic peers,</i></b> not their past performance.<br /><br /><b>This statement is completely absurd.</b> It measured absolutely nothing. Because of the way that this “supposed measure” was designed the performance of the students was completely irrelevant. The students were measured against a cohort of the bottom third of the students …. And no surprise 2/3 of the students did better than the bottom 1/3.<b><i> It will happen that way every time with 66% of students reported as making gains no matter how poorly or how well the students do.</i></b><br /><br />So there you have it. The lying is continuing. The deception is continuing.<br /><br />The Board needs to fire the Superintendent with cause immediately.<br /><br />There is NO confidence in the Superintendent and not much in the School Board either.dan dempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536720661510933983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-16630933879588484222010-12-09T21:25:11.133-08:002010-12-09T21:25:11.133-08:00TAF Academy is hiring a P/T Communications Coordin...TAF Academy is hiring a P/T Communications Coordinator too.<br /><br />http://seattle.craigslist.org<br />/see/ofc/2104674616.htmlseattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01231800476411684686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-15672670275979980912010-12-09T21:03:38.493-08:002010-12-09T21:03:38.493-08:00I totally agree with you Melissa.
