The Education Wars

It's all about the data when WCSD superintendent Heath Morrison has a big meeting tomorrow up at UNR with the community and his asskissers from the previous regime who should have been fired from the district--hell, they should have gone to jail--including those in the green house as well as principals:

Washoe County School District trustees will meet with senior staff, principals and members of the community Thursday for what is billed as the the first-ever “Data Summit,” which will start at 8 a.m. in Room 1001 in the College of Education Building at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The purpose of the event is to evaluate progress made over the 2008-09 school year in meeting the district goals outlined in the Blueprint for Student Success, the district’s long-range plan.

“We are bringing together in one place and at one time, all of the data we have about progress—or the lack of it—on meeting the goals set by the trustees”, said Superintendent Heath Morrison. “We will take a hard look at where we are doing well, where we still have work to do, and decide where we might have missing pieces of data. “All of this work is important as we begin planning for the 2010-11 school year,” Morrison said in a statement.

Students aren't people, they're data to be manipulated. Cook the scores, shitcan the expensive or troublesome teachers, etc., then Morrison will go to some other unsuspecting school district in a couple of years and ruin it.

Here's some video of his whatever last night talking with community leaders, including UNR's president Milton Glick, who has had a controversial tenure, to say the least:
