[dabuddha]

Jesus what a fricking idiot.

 

[csiro]

Haha! but stilll he makes $156k!

 

[MrDingleDangle]

so he puts 2 dozen teachers on leave for not passing a test he cant pass...

haha i'd be pissed if i was one of those teachers...

i bet about 5 days from now we hear how one of the teachers is suing

He should be able to pass the test, but it probably is much more important for the actual teachers to pass it than him because they are in daily contact with the students. His job is mostly administrative.

If the English grammar would stop changing the rules every year then someone might be able to comprehend it.

 

[dman]

So true.

 

[Yossarian]

er it doesn't change much, I don't believe

"It bothers me because I'm trying to understand the congruence of what I do here every day and this stupid test," Laboy told The Eagle-Tribune of Lawrence in a story published Sunday.

only a superintendant who failed an english test would throw an SAT word into a sentence like this...

"What brought me down was the rules of grammar and punctuation," Laboy said. "English being a second language for me, I didn't do well in writing. If you're not an English teacher, you don't look at the rules on a regular basis."

Good excuse! That's what the kids have been saying for years...

I was thinking something similar: "hmmm, I failed the test 3 times, but I'll use some big word with the press to make it look like I'm intelligent. Never mind the fact that I will stoop down and use the word "stupid" in the same sentence."

Well, what do you expect out of the public school system?
