Please check out the latest edition of my blog on W-S Patch.
"Funnel Cloud Threatens NY Public Education (link)" is the third edition published on the topic of the 2012-13 NY State Assessments.
Although this blog references 55,000 students in failed schools, that reference is to the 8th Grade ELA & Math Assessment results that I studied. The actual total enrollment of the 71 districts that Failed Under Pressure is 729,181 students (2010-12). These "failed" districts include all of The Big Five City school systems of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Yonkers, plus 18 of NY City's 33 Geographic Districts. A number of Long Island districts made this unfortunate listing.
The earlier blogs in this series were: "State Ed's Colossal Mistake" and "Silver Lining, Dark Cloud".
Sincerely,
Chris Wendt
