        this is a tale that needs more telling. Schools offload kids to skew test scores in order to get < $ right? or wrong?

        This is news? When funding is tied to test scores—and nothing else (e.g., pretest/post-test improvements)—this is not a scandal.

        Sounds like a cover up in a failed educational system that is set to dumb down America and turn kids into social justice morons!

        parents job is to properly educate children, not the schools. And if that means moving, then move.

        Properly? An adjective turned into an adverb that is meaningless BS! So we close all the schools and let you teach?

        properly educate means they pick the school, teacher, programs they'll accept that are appropriate for their child.

        If your child lived in a cave and Learned what you think is appropriate, I agree. So, stay home, that's appropriate.
