Ray, The state OGT tests require students to write responses to questions in for all parts of the test. They are sent out of state to be graded. Teachers and counselors only past it (the test) and collect it. They never see it again until test scores are returned several months later. Tests are delivered several days before testing is to begin and returned directly after the test is complete. The is not a teacher or counselor in this area I know willing to reisk losing a job over foolishness you speak. The joke is the written potion is graded by "Joe the walmart worker" for 7.50 an hour. Not even by a panel of educators.
Denise Dick, Thanks for the slap in the face of all inner city school employee's.....AGAIN. Under ODE's old formula and nationally accept way I may add. You would take the number of students enrolled in ninth grade divided by how may 18 year old earned graduation rights. Thats the drop out right. For example, a student fails third year English and doesn't go to summer school. He/she comes back as a fifth year senior, statisiticly they are still a high school drop out. Or if the leave school "A" and go to SChool "B". School "A" isn't notified by the student or school "B", they are counted as a drop out. So the change really isn't a change at all!!!!!!
Let me get this striaght Mr. GODell. You cannot bounty other players, yet Billy belacheater can video other teams practices. One is just as bad as the other. Both offenses are a major issue for the NFL. However, be fair GODell! Punishments levied against NewEngland becuase Kraft owns part of CBS. You need to strip the billacheaters of a superbowl win for starters! By no means am I saying the Aints should not be punished, just be fair by past practice!
So, the commission can over ride State laws now. The April 30th date is state law not a contractual agreement. Wow! Well class we want to learn a new word today and that word is L-A-W-S-U-I-T. More egg on the governors face especially when every teacher layed off wins
It's the states goal to destroy youngstown city school. Why would you bring an organization back that assisted in put the district into academic dismay? Knowledgeworks was a joke then as it is now. Leadership in this district is only out to get somebody else's money so the wendy webb's and the like can get rich.
If you want to truly turn Youngstown around academicly, the answer is easy. Classroom performance is tied to public assistance checks. No good grades, no check!!!!!!!!!!
you can't "engage" anyone that doesn't want engaged.......unless you cut the handouts without success! Thats to only way Youngstown city schools see any improvement. No good grades equal no welfare check!
why would you want someone to have contact with your kids if that person was accused of raping you? Why hasn't the media told the public that one of the 8 or 10 cased was Sandusky's own adopted child who is an adult now. Its the same person the told the grand jury his adoptive father(Sandusky) did nothing to him.
Let me start by saying I am no fan of this President. That being said, it was not Obama that passed this law, it just takes effect now. It was Bush that passed this law with HIS signature in 2001, not our current joke of a President.
PUT THE BLAME WERE IT BELONGS Ooooooooh great GOP!!!!!!!!!
agreed......what has he done in the past? did she burn him and he finally had enough......
I don't know this to be the case, but lets say......he gave her money in the paast for survival ans she blow it on "wants" rather than "needs". I won't give another dime if it were me either.....just saying
Get teachers away from testing
