Jack Markell owns the Delaware State Legislators

According  to the United State Department of Education web site: Category 5—$20-75 million – New Mexico, Nebraska, Idaho, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, District of Columbia. The $20-75 million is spread over the two-year RTTT grant program. Fucking liar ! Markell’s DOE agents put a political gun to the school board’s heads saying if you don’t sign you’ll still be required to follow new state regulations associated with Race to The Top and you won’t receive RTTT funding. Jack Markell was a now show at the MOU meeting in  his own school district. The changes approved last week redefine the student-improvement component of educator evaluations to require rigorous and comparable measures of student growth, and they create a rating system that requires growth for an educator to be rated “effective.” Teachers not rated “effective” must receive a mentor as part of an improvement plan So ineffective teachers stay on the job and receive a mentor? Meantime back at the schools the students receive the same ineffective teachers. What ever happen firing low performing teachers? With Markell’s never teacher evaluation system low performing teachers who VT now won’t be forced out and protected by the mentoring bullshit. “All” teacher go through professional development training throughout the year so what the fuck are they learning? Negotiate? Bullshit, they will dictate a plan that forces the local taxpayers to pickup the greater share. Keep in mind these new “regulations” are state regulations not federal and through RTTT fund will support them in the short-term but afterwards it will be state and local funds with the greatest going back to the school districts and charter schools. Teacher unions backed the plan because state leaders pledged test scores would not be the sole measuring factor for student progress. Rather, success will be evaluated using several yet-to-be-defined measures, such as portfolios, said Diane Donohue, president of Delaware State Education Association, the state’s largest school employee union. I agree with not using means for teacher evaluation however a portfolio can be skewed by the classroom teacher. Same say teachers were forced to teach to the DSTP test and now it will be cover their asses. But in the big picture, many fingers point to teachers as prime source of student failure.  Even Arne Duncan doesn’t buy into part of the failures are a result of non-involved parents. Also there have been many underfunded and unfunded state and federal education related mandates. Teacher aren’t even support with adequate classroom supplies. “This could really be a game-changer. Not only could this result in significant federal funds, but there are national foundations kind of waiting on the sidelines to see what states are going to step out,” he said. “There are great people looking to be a part of winning coalitions. We’ll see a flood of great people and organizations that want to be a part of this.” So Paul, are you saying RTTT funding needs won’t default back on the taxpayers because this flood of people will bring a flood of money?    jeepxj12  wrote; They change for money. It’s like handing a kid a lollipop so they quit crying. I say this over and over, yet, people still don’t get it. It’s not about test scores. It’s about prepping these kids for life. You need a curriculum that does that first. You teach them how our financial system works. You teach them about banking, credit cards, loans, etc. You teach them a trade. You teach them history, civics, and how our Government works. You teach them the Constitution. Our education cirriculum is a sorry excuse for an education and you will continue to see student performance fall off for years to come. It’s a waste of our time and tax dollars. Most of all, I feel bad for our kids. BigBear  wrote: The most important part of this so called ”Race to the Top” is not just what the teachers are going to be doing but, how well the students apply themselves. Great Teachers and Great Schools with Great Standards don’t make improvements. It’s the children and how they apply themselves to studying of any subject and being able to learn to get good test scores. To improve themselves, not anyone improving them. A person has to be motivated to want to improve themselves. You can’t force anyone to do anything just influence them. If a person chooses not to do something that is not on anyone else but the person themselves. In simple terms “Ownership & Responsibility. Amen to that! The reality is there is nothing the concern taxpayers can do. Markell and business buddies control the show! The teacher bonuses are nothing more than a consolation prize for being fucked. However in the long run, young professional teachers will be fucked and their unions will fade.  Markell cut across the grain of his own party and will not let any state legislator Republican or Democrat stand in the way of his service to his agenda and those in the business world who  supported him.  Jack Markell owns Delaware and every state legislator within. Why haven’t we seen any state legislator go public and raise concern about an agenda that does provide sustainable funding? Parents out there, yes I am rude, obnoxious and spiteful. As many of you at your PTA meeting it’s just a handful of parents carrying the load for others who claim they can’t even spare a few hours a month. I think we all know one of our greatest concerns is school safety and the wellbeing of our children. Honestly don’t you feel if we put more resources  toward student discipline and providing classroom teachers the tools and supplies they need our children will better succeed. Do you think it’s fair that only teachers will receive bonuses for their good work and not other members of the team within a school building? I don’t enjoy speaking out but look at the cycle of education reform, failed plan after plan all increasing the cost of education. Do you really think RTTT is a ” once in a life time plan to reform public education”? We need to address our concerns within our school buildings and not take a cookie cutter approach to public school reform. Charter school are self-governing school building so why can’t each of our traditonal public schools have that level of empowerment? It will be up to the people and community to stop this runnaway train because our state legisaltors have no poweer against Jack Markell. They dare not to question him in public and you can see even the Republicans and even unions fear him. The democrat legisaltors job is the stand on the sideline and wipe Jack’s ass upon his request. 

And everyone will run around scared that the schools will fall apart and yet, if no referendum is passed bad students will continue to fail, good students with strong support systems will do well and those in the middle will still take the lion’s share of the brunt. and the wheels of the bus go round and round, round and round.

kilroy, speaking of your category 5, which delaware is a part of, lets say delaware got the middle of the range -$55million over 2 years – $27.5 mil per. there are 20 ‘districts’ including charters and vo-techs meaning if the money was split evenly, which it shouldnt be, each district gets about 1.3mil. but before that even happens how much will DOE need to admister all these new programs?

my point being, how much change can $1mil a year for 2 years actually bring?

DOE get’s 50% of the RTTT funding in which they said would go back to the districts via DOE’s own plans.

Sure students may suffer re: referenudms however, we just can’t let the state and feds default funding of “their” plans back on the local taxpayers. Yea, yea taxpayers pay either way but the legislator need to feel the heat.

Markell has ever intent to consoildate the school districts.

The more I learn the more it becomes very evident the parents and community have no say in the education of our children.

I say again: “We do not have “public” schools, we have government schools run by a few select employees and elected officials using public funds without any oversight and making decision without any input from the parents and community at large.
