Do away with State Board of Educations indecisiveness and them and problem solved.
Its sad when the word “debate” really means – ” we screwed up–we have no idea what we are doing”
So lets talk about how lost we are and get paid for talking about how lost we are.

No leadership

Isn’t that the same thing that led to the resignation of our most recent state secretary of education? He changed the grade for a charter school owned by a campaign contributor in Indiana, if I remember correctly. Now we’re going to make it official policy? Is this about teaching our kids, or Rick Scott getting reelected? What a fiasco.

So basically, your school can go into the tank, and it won’t be reflected by their “grade”. How long before they institute that policy for students?

Our educational system is all screwed up!

What in the world is wrong with our school system? When did passing a child, (help that child in this world we live in) get a good education if he or she did not make the grade! What ever happen to Reading Writing (not printing), English, Arithmetic, Geography, History, and Physical Education in our schools? I know that knowledge has greatly increased in the last century AND OUR CHILDREN need to be able to know a great deal more. BUT PASSING A CHILD just so he or she won’t feel bad or the school won’t be known for NOT TEACHING is a crime in itself. HOW is this helping our children? SOMEONE – PLEASE explain!! I’m not the most knowledgeable person in this world, BUT it was very important for me to know that my children got a good education. I wanted them to learn all that they could, DO THEIR VERY BEST, to be able to live & survive on their own. Not looking for someone else to support them, for them to be self sufficient! Praise the LORD, they are!! PARENTS WAKE-UP, work with your children, help them when they need help in learning a subject, don’t be ashamed to get help for them if you aren’t able to help. DON’T JUST IGNORE your children. God gave them to you, so do your very best for them.
