Color me embarrassed.:(
Anyone want to compare Edgecombe to Carteret and guess why the huge difference? Dixieland is in Edgecombe and Christine lives in Carteret which is where I also lived until recently.
Currently, schools in North Carolina are given a letter grade based on a 10-point scale, with 60 percent being an “F.”
The performance scores are publicly available online and give parents a better look at the various school systems across the state.

Schools stopped educating children about thirty years ago. Since then they have become money generating, indoctrination centers. I remember working with my granddaughter. She was in college, learning what I learned in 10th-12th grade.

DeleteIndeed and some private school did such in 7th/8th grades.
My Mother taught in NC public schools 33 years, actually about 35 since she was out twice while pregnant. She would have stayed on the job if she hadn't got to point where she was physically afraid of some of the students she was charged with. Some were actually forced to go to school or jail. The county school system abused older teachers with these criminals knowing they were more likely to put up with it than a younger person that could more easily change professions. I have actually took off work to go escort her home as she was afraid the thugs would follow her. That's not the environment to attempt educating young minds.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord and where was this?
DeleteWilson Co!
ReplyDeleteI think her first year was 1958. She was a southern democrat for most of her life, Jimmy Carter and James Hunt changed her mind. Voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980. She saw so much change in our schools, I've seen her cry because the system was failing so many young people. She tutored many neighborhood children that were being left behind by the system.
She did her best with me but I did disappoint her so:^)
Sad and not far from me in Edgecombe.
