Live blogging a very happy presser from the KCPS ...
Nice turnout despite the fact there hasn't been much progress . . . The district remains unaccredited and MO DESE officials say they want at least 3 years of similar results to get back KCPS credentials.
Heh . . . There's cake here!!! Other than that, just a lot of the same promises we've heard before ...
Dr. Green: "KCPS is at the outset of a Renaissance."
School Board Prez Airick L. West: "Our academic performance has never before shown such an incredible leap forward.
KMBC reporter Mike Mahoney spoiled the mood by noting that we have been through all of this before . . .
Green goes brown.
ReplyDeleteA.L. West strikes out.
The season is lost.
Isn't the real problem that the kids and parents don't care? I can't imagine the teachers are that much different from teachers in successful districts. And what real difference does it make who the superintendent is when it's time to do your homework?
ReplyDeleteI guess Airick was not the Black Jesus after all?
ReplyDeleteKCPS is World Class!

ReplyDelete"LET THEM EAT CAKE!"
Bastard!
Yeah when all else fails just keep lowering your standards.
ReplyDeleteDid the cook the books, records, to get that 84?
ReplyDeleteIn-fucking-credible how long dimb ass tax paying people will let this shit go on.
ReplyDeleteHaving our kids educated by this planet-of-the-apes type of administration is, or should be criminal! These fucking niggers have demonstrated time and time again, just how inept and corrupt they are. Just remember, you asked (axed) for it, you got it!
ReplyDeleteShame on these pretenders trying to sell their fake numbers. We can see that they don't have the interests of KC in mind. They simply want to hold on to their own power and heavy subsidies.
ReplyDeleteThis whole KCMO bubble of hype is going to blow at some point.
ReplyDeleteI hope to not be around when it does and the fiscal damage sweeps in like a tsunami.
I've been with the district for the past 20 years and I don't get this "we have been through all before". We have never had a bump this large before. We have never even came close to full accreditation.
ReplyDeleteTypically the district promises to do better and then comes up very short. That is what I remember. I was waiting for the announcement to come in this morning that we did not get as many point as we thought we would get. Today we got a 13+ boost from the last prediction a couple of weeks ago.
@7:27 Many of the points the District received were NOT from an academic standpoint they were for proper lighting around exit signs and attendance and other insignificant measures. The kids are still performing in the 30 percentile range in every category. Further, if you have been with the District 20 years then you know the best MAP testing scores were during Bernard Taylor's tenure.They were at the door of full accreditation but they fired him and brought in Amato and everything turned around.
ReplyDeleteKansas Citians will celebrate just about anything. The district is unaccredited. Call when there is full accreditation and the school board is not overrun with big, fat niggers. Then, that is call for celebration.
ReplyDelete@9:36 Check the data, the scores under Taylor were just as abysmal. Both Taylor and Green got us the points that were not based upon the test scores. Amato actually raised middle school scores which was quite an achievement, but in doing so he re-opened schools and nearly bankrupted us with SFA and a number of other pet programs he had financial ties to.
ReplyDeleteI really wish test scores would reflect student growth, instead of comparing one years kids to the year before.
@2:03 Amato enjoyed the middle school scores based upon Taylor's work. Test score run two years behind. Taylor's fifth graders were Amato's test scores. Taylor implemented DID have better test scores in reading and math. Still only 5,000 kids are performing at 30 plus percent.
ReplyDeleteWow, the language and racism of the parents on this page (yes, when u use the "N" word you are being racist!!). If only we used the same energy on trying to solve the problems of the KCPSD as we do complaining about those running it. Get involved!!
