In the heyday of scrubbing, which most of us witnessed and sadly failed to blow the whistle, such low pass rates would not exist. <br /><br />It's my impression from high school teachers along the ATR road that scrubbing has returned in new guise and for the same lousy reason. I refer to high passing rate quotas (80+)for course grades mandated by principals and beloved by Farina et al. Resist by reporting true grades and your life will never be the same. I wonder if other teachers have the same impression, if not direct experience with quotas.

Lane High School. For those keeping score, although "Lane" closed in 2012, Multicultural hs, Brooklyn Lab hs and Cypress Hills acad were all up and running as far back as 2009/2010. (We were just a small hallway on one floor by 2011.) Here's your tax dollars at work. Congratulations to Cypress, with a 55% Algebra pass rate and a 58% ELA pass rate, they are the Hoover of the Delta House/ Lane campus Geometry, however? TEN PERCENT. 42% Living En<br /><br />As for the "Multiculural HS" sitting atop the 4th floor, a staggering 32.9% of the student body is overage. But give them credit in Geometry, where the passing rate was 12%, or , two points higher than Cypress! (Aren't the taxpayers glad that they pay for all these principals and AP's when there used to be just one principal and one APO?) Earth Science? 29% Global? 30% ELA? 41% <br /><br />And then there's Brooklyn Lab. These three, the Harvard/Yale/Princeton of "mini-schools" are sure showing the former faculty of Lane how to do it. For example, at B-lab, they know their triangles....17% in Geometry. 38% Global, 42% Algebra, and a whopping 40% on US History. Of course, on their review score, they're "approaching standard," which is excellent, considering they managed to keep "super seniors" down to 17% of their school population. MAYBE THE LANE TEACHERS SHOULD DO A WALK - THROUGH TO SEE THESE ROCK STARS IN ACTION. I haven't touched on the cheating scandal on more than one regents exam in the building, nor dare I touch the "credit recovery" industry running at full speed at 999 Jamaica Avenue. <br /><br />Is journalism DEAD? I'd say so. There's a 20/20 or a 60 Minutes or geez even a "Shame on You" for some news person who feels like digging just a bit deeper into your tax dollars at work.

Click the bullet School Quality Guide and then scroll down to page 5 and look at the last 5 categories. These are the most updated June 2015 regents pass rates. You will not believe the scores.

Their license is 9-12 and they're being sent for positions teaching 6-8 grade. Also we are forced to cover these classes at schools with 6-12. I called the Bronx borough office and was told this was allowed! Not only that, but ATRs are being observed babysitting these classes out of license. Perhaps the ATR Alliance will help grieve this. We need some kind of assistance- the union just wants our money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-38400151124410683542014-11-18T18:38:51.523-05:002014-11-18T18:38:51.523-05:00the moronic idiots don't the know the definiti...the moronic idiots don't the know the definition of mutual - it is barbaric that we can be placed anywhere- it is simply inhumane Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-17693007082070552032014-11-18T18:01:51.139-05:002014-11-18T18:01:51.139-05:00"Forced consent"?

They are TERRIBLE!!!!!!!! This is the result if breaking up the large comprehensive high schools? Chaz, please be the first to do it man. I'm seeing regents pass rates at 9%, 14%, 19% and so on. Some of these piece of shit small schools do not even post 1 regents pass rate out of the 5, over a 50% Mark. This is NEWSWORTHY. Break up a large high school and replace it with 5 others. 2 are decent and the other 3 are fake. Not even real schools. Regents pass rates at 20% and BELOW. REALLY?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
