High school students won’t have to be “proficient” in either math or English to graduate, under minimum required test scores proposed by State Superintendent Paolo DeMaria. They will just need to know enough to do the most basic of jobs. [More]Just enough to get by. There's an appropriate state motto for ya.
Still, it's necessary if DeSwine is going to finalize his next bit of treachery.
Ol' Paolo must be doing a great job-- he just got a swell raise. And the convoluted way the trough-feeder system is set up pretty much guarantees the swamp will fester and endure.
And they could do a better job, you know. My own school district got pretty good grades on everything that matters except the most important, and is doing dismally on "Diversity." Give it a few years and we'll see those numbers readjust.
It's so nice living in a Republican state after all those years in California.

These things have a way of self adjusting. Note that many national firms refuse to relocate their administrative functions to Florida in general, and South Florida in particular because our high school graduates can't perform the most basic of office tasks.
When kids coming out of school can't get a job, eventually people notice. And after the initial cries of "blatant racism" are ignored they at least go through the motions of improving public schools. That is until the NEA gets involved.
It is it just me or has anyone else noticed that, along with "gun violence", poor schools tend to be concentrated in areas run by Democrats ostensibly for other Democrats?
