I know a great idea, let's get a bunch of minority leaders together with virtually no authority or real power over the Kansas City School District and then have them talk until they're out of breath regarding how to fix a generation worth of failure!!!
That's the first thing that came to mind when learning of the new(ish) Community Task Force for Education Reform.
They've put together a dream team of community leaders with little experience in Education . . . Also, I'd like to point out that there's only one Latina and that's a bit of underrepresentation considering that the dropout rate for Hispanics in KC Schools is more than 50% but that's an issue that few people want consider or would like to explain away with doctored stats.
Anyhoo, Mayor Funky is also making an appearance with this group that's completely devoid of any kind of real power . . . Coincidence?
Even worse, the community forum idea is kinda stale and it's been tried over and over again to no avail . . . If the community was going to fix Kansas City Schools, they would have done it already. And recent experience tells us that anyone making any quantifiable progress will be fired . . . TKC's suggestion: Renting U-Hauls to school districts that aren't perennially mired in mediocrity and failure.
I couldn't agree with you more. I posted something similar this morning . The kids are doomed.
ReplyDeleteWho cares? Who cares is illegal mexicans aren't represented on a community of blacks that you yourself said have no power. Why all the belly aching then. As for a dropout rate for illegal mexicans at 50% again who cares. Who's fault is that anyway. Well, the illegal mexican parents. Why blame the black school board or the black run KC school district for illegal mexicans dropping out of school. Everyone is accountable for their own actions. If illegal mexicans want to drop out and flip burgers let them. We need the little bastard grunts to flip our burgers... hell, why should we lower ourselves to flip burgers when we work hard to put ourselves through college and buy big houses with three car garages to house our Harleys, boats, SUV's, and BMW's. Someone has to flip the burger. I think the illegal mexican drop out rate to too low. We need to figure a way to keep them from graduating and competing against our sons and daughters. So play the blame game. Who cares who you blame as long as you drop out!
