I hear there are over a dozen kids from SHOEMAKER going to the parochial schools instead of going on to our MIDDLE schools. What does that say about the state of our schools?
Well short of a mass religious conversion, it points out a couple of things actually. First that the a more longitudinal concept of education that a K - 8 model represent appeals to a good number of people. Also, I would bet that more people who go to that school are more likely to be able to afford a private school. That is only a guess, I haven't seen any numbers.
I'm sure some passionate person out there will have all kind of data to try and show me how wrong I am. I tell you though that's probably NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The closing of the FORD ANNEX took away the public option for the poor. Oh well, poor people don't vote or maybe I should say DIDN'T USE TO.
It is TRUE! Why should we have our children go to the middles schools that are a MESS! The next move is out of LYNN. It is SAD but TRUE!
ReplyDeleteWell, the data wil lshow that most of the kids going to shoemaker are being dropped off oe bused in from ALL over the city. I agree that K-8 would have been a great option, but the reality of the shoemaker is that it is quickly becoming more COACH than regular ed. So, it does not matter if you are poor or middle class anymore. BTW, the poor DO NOT VOTE. It is the same political machine that controls everything in Lynn. DO you homework STAN! The only time SC or SUper come to shoemaker is when the parents scream loud enough that it scares people or during election time whe nthey stand outside to try and get VOTES from ward 1 people. SAD but TRUE!
ReplyDeleteWait until you see what happens if they follow this current administrations primary plans when they re-build MARSHALL,
