Oh ok, that makes sense. So they get a 30, make it a 70, wham, 97% grad rate. That of course is in addition to missing every assignment in jupiter, and of course the inability to write a sentence at 15-18 years old. just curve it. Ok, cool.

It's institutionalized now. Only 30% tests, this is how everyone passes as long as they can breathe.<br /><br />In regard to Jupiter (and the like), remember as per the "Contract Empowerment" flier, an online gradebook is optional. I keep a real gradebook, so someone looking up my Jupiter (which is a problem in itself, anyone in the building shouldn't be able to go through other classes' grades) isn't going to see the real picture.<br /><br />Lastly, remember Mulgrew supported Common Core to the extent he wanted to punch its opponents in the face. Long Island and the rest of the State led the opposition to Common Core, led on Opt Out, etc. No surprise the UFT is behind the times in regard to the testing, which goes hand in hand with Common Core, data-driven BS, junk-science evaluation, etc.TJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080823411092014871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-25126423843095193972018-04-23T05:25:50.470-04:002018-04-23T05:25:50.470-04:00Just keep telling these kids that they are really ...Just keep telling these kids that they are really smart, they can be Obama, as they do no work, they are in high school and cant write a sentence, have no ability to follow a simple rule, walk the halls all day, and have them demand you raise their grades.

Approximately 15 additional signatures from friends/family of our staff. My school started with a handful of signatures. We still keep reminding people to sign...in person and in emails. It's easy to get angry with teachers who don't take the time to do it but it's just as easy to give them frequent reminders to do it so it actually gets done. At least 6 of the signatures from my school come from people who are not rated under Danielson/test scores. We asked them to sign as a show of support for those who are under it. Our delegate stood in the lobby one morning and handed out the info. Our CL held a union meeting where we talked it up. I've sent email updates on the number of signatures. People will step up----some just need nudging or nagging to get there. So let's all continue to nudge and nag.
