No Child Left Behind Is So Over!
No Child Left Behind is so over! Twelve billion dollars was recently cut from the Education budget to help fund the “war effort” because 87 billion a year has to come from somewhere. And anyway, where do you think the volunteer army comes from, those interviewing for Ivy League schools? See the relationship? You can’t make it up.
Fast tracked students who get “paid” for a score of 5 on the State Tests aren’t joining any volunteer army. There are exceptions to every rule because some young men have that “Rambo” thing going on. Most college students couldn’t tell you the countries that border Iraq and don’t know whether it’s the Sunnis, Sonys, Shitheads of Dickheads that keep showing up and blowing up in all the wrong places
Teachers always have their own code words for “special classes’ like “Spec Ed” or “Speds” or maybe something not quite so creative like Smart Civics and Dumb Civics. But those who matriculate in Dumb Civics and Pre Algebra and Physical Science for the Perceptually Disabled and Geography for the Criminally Insane aren’t going to summer school for more focused bullshit. They’ve already gotten the message that the bait bouncing off the bottom is to lure them to jobs the president of Mexico said, “Even the black people don’t want.” Seriously, that’s what he said and now I’m off road but Comedian Dame Edna, a British man dressed as a woman, said the only reason to learn Spanish is so you can talk to the man running your leaf blower. And there was public outrage by educated Hispanics who don’t run leaf blowers and some of my best friends are Mexicans, know what I’m ‘sayin’, cause they don’t.
O.K, I’m back! I’ve worked closely with so called emotionally disturbed students and I’ve learned a lot from them. “Jerome you’re going to summer school.”
“No, I ain’t, just watch me! You can come to summer school every day of the week but you ain’t gonna see no Jerome there!”
The tests are no longer high stakes because “other” criteria can now be considered when determining progress—he’s 27 we’ve got to move him-- so anytime you see some dorky “made” educator in a suit so shiny no-see-ums are skiing off the dandruff flaked collar, talking about standardized tests the really count this time, just smack him down and shout “No They don’t!” Go to summer school and tell me who you see there? That’s right, custodians.
