This is such a leftist thing to do. No accountability, just move the goal posts.
Student math scores at The Math & Science Exploratory School in Brooklyn have tanked 26% since 2018.
The system’s “solution”?
Change the name to The Exploratory School.
That’s right: District 15’s Community Education Council unanimously voted to eliminate MS 447’s STEM-focused moniker, rather than address the reasons why it was failing at its mission.
Because the drop was a direct result of the CEC’s 2018 decision, engineered by the de Blasio administration, to scrap selective middle-school admissions across the district in the name of “equity.”
Now, everyone is equally stupid. Bravo.
Well, it’s the demwit way!
MUCH easier to control morons.
Here is how stupid kids are today; when you go to race tracks on the pit side, you must print your name and sign your name on a sheet. These teens are flabbergasted because they don’t know how to sign their names and then their parents can’t believe they don’t know how to sign their names and ask how they’re ever going to sign documents.
No wonder your kids are being taught to be queer and transgender and are being molested, you suck as a parent when you don’t even know your 15, 16, 17 year old kid doesn’t know how to sign their name.
I heard a 17 year old tell his mom that nobody taught him and I told her that’s on you, you can’t blame the kid when you didn’t bother to find out what he was being taught. Pissed her off, but I’m old and no longer give a crap who I piss off.
Well, for many the Ten Commandments became the Ten Suggestions a long time ago…so…
Wonder what they are exploring at The Exploratory School?
dindus can always unzip or de-bra to count higher than 10
@Agatha Kakalogical, yep. I imagine it involves perversity and diversity
replace maff with twerking or negro-phoning
The school should be renamed Meth and Globull Warming Indoctrination HS. With a special emphasis on DEI and tranny and queer studies. No math or science, English, American history etc. taught because that would be racist. What’ve they got to lose?
Gen Z kids are so friggin stupid they don’t even look, let alone both ways, when crossing a street. I’m not kidding, they wear their pajama pants around everywhere and make a right angle turn from a parallel sidewalk right into the crosswalk without ever looking left, right or even pausing. I’ve almost hit a couple kids. It’s so unbelievably stupid to me. Sometimes my kid is with me and we witness it together, all I say, “What the hell is wrong with your generation?” They treat crosswalks as if they are the exact same thing as the sidewalk.
Math? Who cares about that when they can’t even look before crossing a street. pffft.
We’re well on our way to the world of Vonnegut’s short story Harrison Bergeron.
Harrison Bergeron is one of my favorite Vonnegut short stories. I picked it for my book club once and all the guys loved it. Equity Police indeed, Harrison Bergeron had it in spades. I also picked A Good Man Is Hard To find by Flannery O’Connor, another great short story for my book club.
@Geoff, I’ll always think of this as one of most memorable lines in all of literature:
Creepy as all get-out, dripping with evil, and as vivid as bombed-out Sherwin-Williams store.
Reading Flannery O’Connor’s stories is one of my guilty pleasures. She had a way with words that almost no one else could write. And all this from a woman who suffered and died from Lupus at a relatively young age. Nobody could write good Gothic stories about death and God’s redemption like she did. And you do have to admit The Misfit is one of the creepiest/loathsome characters ever portrayed in any short story but still worthy of redemption. Which was the whole point of the story.
I also like reading Nathaniel Hawthorne’s books as well. I consider him to be one of America’s great literary authors. My daughter who visited Boston last month took a tour of The house of the Seven Gables in Salem while she was there.
