Collier Schools Fail – Again

So when this author made the utterly moronic mistake of vying for a seat on the local charter school board, he was denigrated, besmirched, slurred, slandered – you know, the usual tactics of the syndicate. And with the exception of one sole citizen, no one bothered – even those that have benefited from this blog – to address the sleazy tactics.

But who cares, right?

How about your $30,000,000 (or is it more?) of your tax dollars being wasted in a school district that just outright sucks (using the vernacular of the syndicate and those that graduate from same)? Are you having fun yet?

One of the only two truly independent and scientifically based assessments of schools has just been released. The U.S. News and World Report/Newsweek annual assessment of high schools in the U.S. showed what those of us in education (you know, the teachers, as opposed to the clones that sit on school boards or make six-figures in the administration) already know: Collier schools are the worst of the worst of the worst.

Not using the utterly faux FCAT test results as a guide, the two magazines reviewed over 21,000 high schools. Somewhere around 800th was one Collier high school (no, not Lely), and nowhere else. But yet there are 10 Florida schools in the top 100.

Too many non-English speaking immigrants in Collier are the problem? Really? Then why does Miami have dozens in the list, four in the top 100 and one as high as 15th!?

Keep listening to your local school board, the syndicate operatives that infest it, the county school board, and keep sending the money.
