Mike Petrilli also lives in the area and likes to run at the mouth. Our whole state board is TBF and it sucks having children in the school system. Child #2 goes to private school. ALL the privates are now filled with children whose parents are fleeing the public school system. I'm sure this is to push Gov Hogan's BOOST (vouchers for religious schools) program. Get the parents unhappy with all the stupid and abundant standardized testing (we still have PARCC and will be getting zombie PARCC from New Meridian and the dreaded KRA) aligned to the ridiculous CC standards and then parents will want to recoup their tax dollars being spent on public schools. But anyway you look at it, children should NEVER be considered a failure in kindergarten and children this young should NEVER be subjected to abusive testing. It's wrong and I don't know why the parents here don't revolt against this. edblisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792046029260177146noreply@blogger.com
