Wouldn’t it be nice if you could look at how your school performs? Today restaurants and students receive a grade, so why not our schools? The Departmentof Elementary and Secondary Education has this kind of information on every school and every school district yet it is difficult for parents to access.
It is important for parents to know how their children are doing in school. It is alsoimportant for the parents to know how their schools perform.
A report card is a very simple but tightly packed assessment of a child’s overall understanding of the curriculum. House Bill 388 creates a report card for schools that must be given to the parents of those school districts.
These ‘School Report Cards’ will show an overall assessment of how their school ranks compared to other public schools. This will give parents information so they can be more involved in the process of improving their children’s school.
Those that oppose this bill say parents will not be able to understand these report cards, but I believe in transparency and that parents deserve to have this information. I also feel that this information can be explained in simple terms that parents can understand. That is why I voted yes on House Bill 388.
At this time, the information on School performance is still being created. I hope to provide you this information in the near future.
Randy.....You must compare this communication from Mr. kpenig to the e mail sent earlier this week by Lea Crusey and Students First. He plagarized. Do we live in a state where our representatives are not bright enough to sit down and write THEIR opinion on a subject or have we devolved into a state where out of state for profit education interest groups own our legislators? Every time I see something by Tim Jones and the bunch of republicans from the St.Louis county area I think we have the worst government special interest and billionaire(Rex Sinquefield)money can buy and we are STUPID if we re-elect paid for politicians. ALEC and money has ruined government for the common man because it is not about Missourians, it is now about being a money making opportunity for legislators. The ghost of Abe Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower are watching you Republicans and maybe Jesus as well. You might want to do honest work.
ReplyDeleteI will jump on that. Have you got a copy of what Crusey said?
