I just finished reading the paper and I was not surprised to see that California’s schools are taking a real beating in the math and reading testing required by the No Child Left Behind law. Apparently 4th and 8th graders tested very near to dead last in those areas. It is obvious that something has to change and I would propose that we fire all of the teachers and hire new ones. After all, it has to be the teachers’ fault that the scores are so low. And by hiring all new teachers, we can save a lot of money; as we won’t have to pay them very much until they can prove their worth by a raising of the test scores. We can certainly keep the current high level state administrators in their jobs though; heaven knows that they have tried their very best! After all, they are “high level” and that must mean highly skilled.
