CAT Tracks for May 21, 2015
POVERTY & FAMILY STRESS |
President Obama and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Doofus have consistently dismissed the outcry of teachers about the driving role of poverty in the persistence of the achievement gap and the "failure" of public education to move the needle on standardized tests...
...labeling the assertion as "an excuse" used by "bad teachers" and their "evil unions".
Well, the people who know, the people recognized as the best of the best, disagree...
From The Washington Post
Poverty, family stress are thwarting student success, top teachers say
CAT Tracks Editor's Note:
Sadly, the opinion of the "2015 Teachers of the Year" will matter not.
Obama and Duncan will invite them to the White House for a photo op, disregard their expertise, and continue their assault on public education.
