So I stumble across the text of a bill filed in the Florida House today, and discover that someone (namely, Rep. Heller) has finally seen the light. Or something.
It's the Public School Education bill, HB 941. This one, though, does away with the onerous and bass-ackwards A through F school grades and instead would group schools into performance categories: Improving, Maintaining, and Declining. And schools like mine with a huge number of poor kids starting behind--and staying behind--the educational 8-ball wouldn't maintain permanent residence in the "school grades" basement if they're showing improvement across the board, which our school has been doing consistently.
Common sense at last! Whatcha wanna bet some idiot kills it?
