The Guidelines for the Prevention of Sexual Misconduct and Abuse in Virginia Public Sch... - 1 views

  •  
    These new guidelines from the Virginia Board of Education are a perfect example of passing the buck....when the board initially created these guidelines in January, they were very explicit and strict and there was a lot of backlash to it.(http://www.doe.virginia.gov/boe/meetings/2011/01_jan/agenda_items/item_j.pdf) Now if you read the March guidelines, you can clearly see that the board is now asking local boards to define and create policies regarding social networking interactions between students and staff. Seems similar to feds asking states to define mandates, doesn't it?

Virginia school board votes to put Ten Commandments back in county schools - 1 views

  •  
    The source must be considered (Secular News Daily) - but whoa! Ten Commandments posted?!?! I am shocked to see the 5-0 ruling on this one...I wonder if Giles County has elected or appointed board members.
  •  
    If I had to guess, this policy will have an extremely short shelf life.

Education Week: KIPP, Teachers' Union Go Toe to Toe in Baltimore - 1 views

  • Virginia have the same kind of requirement that Maryland does.

      I thought that Virginia teachers were not represented by a union. Was I mistaken? Or are teachers in charter schools represented by a union while those in traditional public schools are not?
  •  
    KIPP is threatening to close schools in Baltimore unless they are able to resolve a dispute with the teachers' union regarding teacher pay for extended school days.

Virginia's Public Education System 4th in Nation - 4 views

  •  
    Virginia's public education system's fourth place ranking in Education Week's annual Quality Counts report. The rankings are based on four critical areas: the chance for success, K-12 achievement, school finance, and policies related to transitions and alignment.
  •  
    Sadly... none of the states got an A or A-. Alas, MS is no longer dead last. Granted they have the lowest C- possible. I know we say that grades are not everything but it is sad that there are no "A" states and our national average is mediocre at best. And, this is not a comparison to other developed countries....
