Teens defend ‘fail factory’ school in error-filled letters
http://nypost.com/2014/02/23/students-defend-murry-bergtraum-hs-in-error-filled-letters/
These kids should learn write from wrong.
Earlier this month, The Post exposed a scheme at Manhattan’s Murry Bergtraum HS for Business Careers in which failing students could get full credit without attending class, but instead watch video lessons and take tests online. One social-studies teacher had a roster of 475 students in all grades and subjects.
Red-faced administrators encouraged a student letter-writing campaign to attack The Post and defend its “blended learning†program. Eighteen kids e-mailed to argue that their alma mater got a bad rap.
Sad state of affairs. :mental:

Sad state is right...

Well when you subsidize welfare folks, that do not put a premium on education for the babies they pop out, this is what you get. No motivation to get better or improve one's lot in life.
Poverty is a daggone great motivator.

I wonder if that is where Snazbo got his degree?

From what I have seen of him so far, he doesn't generate much wonder in me.

Fear is also a great motivator. Fear of being poor did a lot to motivate me. Not so much with the Dummy crowd. Some even wear poverty like a badge of honor.

Well, it looks like we could add "English Teacher in a Blended School" to Nadins resume.

That "blended program" could work with motivated students or involved parents. For kids who are skipping school regularly, not so much.

One of these students will be President someday. :thatsright:

Perhaps something will happen before that which will lead to a better outcome, like the planet being hit by a large asteroid.

Well, the U.S. has already been hit by a large ASS-turd-roid.
