It's all the teacher's fault: Staff at 5 Vegas schools have to "re-apply" for their jobs

Students rally outside Chaparral High School on Wednesday, March 9, 2011, in protest of the district’s plans to reorganize the school.
====

The staff at five low-performing schools in the Clark County School District will be asked to reapply for their jobs next year because the schools are being reorganized under the rules of federal school improvement grants.

District officials have identified three of the schools as Hancock Elementary School and Chaparral and Mojave high schools.

The names of the two other schools were not immediately released because those staffs have not been notified of the changes.

Under the rules of the grant program, the schools are limited to rehiring 50 percent of their personnel. Employees who are not hired back will have to apply for other vacancies in the school system.

Defective raw material gets sent back to the supplier
that would be the parents
So the parents would need to either fix the raw material or start breeding new raw material

82% of the schools are failing the new guide lines
he has been in charge for two years and the failing rate has gone up so it is his fault
he should get fired for his incompetence
if their are going to be fair ....... well we know how that will work
just fire more teachers, that will fix everything
and then sell the schools so corporations can take some more public money

N/t

Good to see students getting active against an injustice.

I know teachers there -- a lot of them. I still live in the neighborhood. I've thought about working there because it's close enough to walk; I won't go there because I've learned, just as a neighbor, that their principal sucks . And one of those schools is, indeed, a dysfunctional hellhole, with really tough kids, inexperienced teachers who can't yet get a job at a less stressful school, and a lousy administration. Seriously incompetent. This is bullshit on so many levels...

Coincidentally, I was just reading a study that shows, as do many others, that the biggest factors affecting a student's performance have nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with schools. It's mostly determined by the home life of a child, and even that is pretty much imprinted upon a child by the time he's three.
