The FLDOE makes ridiculous rules all the time. She was using the promotion requirements the district has had for several years before she became superintendent - she didn't come up with the criteria the district uses. And as a seasoned teacher in Manatee County, Florida, I can tell you retaining third graders who "fail" the state test was not something Manatee County dreamed up with on their own.

Tests with high stakes like pass/fail attached to them are taking precedence over 180 days of hard work and classroom grades. The Florida Standards Assessment Test has a 58% failure rate. All those students are at risk of retention at a cost of $12,000 per student. It is ethically, educationally, financially, and morally wrong to continue failing children over a one time test.KayDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478774908831172003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-48174357340532661072016-06-01T21:07:57.921-04:002016-06-01T21:07:57.921-04:00Thank you for covering this story.

Sad thing is, I just told my 2 sisters (one of whom lives in Ohio) that before this is over, the state will throw the districts under the bus. They refuse to hold themselves accountable for any of this education disaster. <br /><br />Tracy Roelle https://www.blogger.com/profile/18206743475385931451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-49080426396859610852016-06-01T08:43:20.114-04:002016-06-01T08:43:20.114-04:00It's a good thing people protest this sh*t.It's a good thing people protest this sh*t.Rebecca deCocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168718846105012814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-59689803456417935412016-05-31T23:33:04.182-04:002016-05-31T23:33:04.182-04:00I was just following orders...until she wasn't...I was just following orders...until she wasn't....Haley Crittenden Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262869364227627673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-47777523752461905572016-05-31T20:46:12.477-04:002016-05-31T20:46:12.477-04:00And the plot thickens in Florida...

I hope this allows them to do what they should've already been doing..passing children based on professional standards. <br />Thank you for shining the light on this. FLDOE's unspoken policy of no communication is one that warrants correcting. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296431500876910904noreply@blogger.com
