What Dr. B leaves behind, 200+ strong educators either with careers ruined or gone from this district and enjoying life and educating somewhere else. People in positions they did not deserve or earn. And the following numbers speak for themselves:
Financial numbers are one thing, graduation numbers are another, however, the main indicator of every thing that DR B is having this district do is supposed to raise the MSIP/MAP test scores, and Joplin, well, it ranks, out of 12 area school districts, last or in the bottom 3 in each MAP category. Here are the AYP Numbers, these are things that they hide:
Rank School District APR Score
1st Nixa 97.9
2nd Bolivar 97.1
.......
9th Webb City 87.5
10th Nevada 85.4
11th Carthage 85
12th Joplin 78.6
Here are some other numbers:
In the 3 year comparison from 2011-2013 for the MSIP 5 MAP Index Scores for English LA 3-8, Math 3-8
Joplin ranking out of 12 schools is last 2 years and next to last 1 year.
The 2013 MSIP 5/MAP Index Scores for 2012-2013 Joplin is tied with another area school for last out of 12.
Numbers speak for themselves. If teachers are not happy, kids are not happy. Kids not happy, parents not happy. Overall, non happy people will always equal low test scores, right?
Regardless if you like or dislike Randy Turner, the numbers that are presented do not lie. ***

The damage is unbelievable. And MSSU rewards this mess made in their own back yard by awarding here with an Oustanding Education Alumnus award. That's a stab in the back of every MSSU grad teaching in Joplin. My money will now go to support another foundation. Hard to believe they would do such a thing while simultaneously whining about the number of freshmen who have to go to remedial writing and math courses. Between Bright Futures and their leader and MSSU, my money may leave Joplin altogether. That's just sad and unfortunate, but I worked too hard for it to see it misused.
The numbers say it all, for sure. Along with these numbers: 7-0. Whatever it is she and Huff did, they did it with full approval of the current school board. Those are the people who should be escorted from the building.
Frau Besendorfer is the most hateful woman I've ever known. Someday she will pay for her sins.
People at all levels are catching on to what has happened in Joplin. That is why she's skipping out like she is. All involved in letting the district collapse need fired. Obviously, they're not getting the job done. Time to kick them to the curb.
