leaveusalone, do some research into the subgroups that Youngstown students represent versus what children in Boardman represent.
"If we got what we paid for, we'd have better educated students than either of those towns. But we don't." I guess the alternative is to quit paying for all those students then. They're a waste I guess.
If you'd like examples of public school hiring in the mid to low 20s, examine the salaries in Bloomfield and Mesopotamia. You could also examine the salaries of teachers in Ohio's Appalachia region. I geuss if you'd done some research, you'd know that.
You say life is not about the money, but then you also say "If we got what we paid for, we'd have better educated students than either of those towns. But we don't."
That factory owner that puts out the substandard cars? He has control over the quality of the materials he uses to assemble those cars. If I owned a factory and my supplier was sending metal that became brittle when heated or shaped, or glass with visible defects in it, I'd find another supplier, and definitely wouldn't use those defective materials.
The point the author of this piece made was that accountability isn't defined solely by one means of evaluation. Anyone who judges the worth of an employee, yet alone a person, by one facet of their profession is sadly narrowminded. Even Donald Trump takes many factors into account before pronouncing someone fired.
Refusing to take into account what a child is going through, (remembering that children are not mini-adults) is a very important piece to consider. Last year at a school in Warren, a student who was the innocent victim of a drive by shooting died the MORNING OF state testing. Students and staff were in tears, and the students had to take the tests the rest of the week, only after a last minute reprieve from the state. Students going through that kind of emotional trauma are simply not going to perform well on a test, let alone on many tasks coming throughout the day. Expecting children who are victims of abuse, neglect, drug abuse, etc. to perform at some arbitrary level is a terrible system...it reinforces the message that they are failures at life...something they well know because they live it every day.
"Every other professional is forced to live and work with outside forces they cannot control." And let's look at how that's working for the economy and our job market...let's look at the damage the private sector has wrought in the stock market by placing all their eggs in this basket. While this quote is true, it doesn't make it right.
"The lefto pubic school system and the lefto NEA isn't reaching the young people; even when they instruct them how to put condoms on bananas"
This doesn't really happen in most Ohio schools. Check out the health curriculum, (or the lack of one) from the state. Keep painting in those broad strokes without any real knowledge of what's actually happening.

Make up your mind.

Apparently somewhere around 36% of Americans believe in both some form of creationism and evolution. I didn't realize they were mutually exclusive.

That percentage is not true. Fear is the big motivator. It's the underlying thread in most news stories.

Alex Mack and Joe Thomas will be good linemen for years. The Browns are still recovering from Butch Davis's Miami north campus picks.

Do a little research into Persia and the Moors there ProAm.
The "origional" Americans decided to coexist in their environment instead of plundering it.
