Jeb's Florida....over 800 FCAT scores STILL lost. Sent to wrong state?
http://www.wftv.com/education/2409072/detail.html

SNIP...."No one seems to know what's happened to the 829 ninth grade FCAT tests and Edgewater's principal is furious. He says hundreds of students are in an educational lurch because of the lost scores.

Edgewater students grab letters, headed home to parents explaining why after five months last year's ninth graders still don't know how they did on the FCAT. The missing scores are a mystery to both Principal Michael Blasewitz and Orange County district administrators.

"I do know that we did what we were supposed to do. I saw the packages myself," explains Dr. Michael Blasewitz. "I know that we sent 95 packages of tests, that was a combination of ninth grade tests and tenth grade tests, to Tallahassee.

"What we were told by the Department of Education is that the ninth grade box was mislabeled and it was sent to Texas instead of Iowa," says OCPS Program Services Director Lee Baldwin......."

Unbelievable!

3. At least it's only tests and not actual kids that were lost.
What has happened about those missing children?

8. The new head of DCF
is too busy helping some candidate back in his home state run her campaign, to be bothered with finding any kids.

He did quit when word got around that he had a side job.

9. He's busy training DCF workers in Christian ethics and morals.
Can't be bothered looking for the lost kids. The DCF workers are furious at being treated like that.

7. I'm sure Jeb will give all the kids an exemption
He keeps changing the rules everytime he gets backed into a corner with his lame brain ideas.

First, you couldn't get out of 10th grade if you didn't pass the FCAT. Then Jeb opened up a giant loophole to get around that one.

Then when the 3rd graders who failed the FCAT and were going to be held back, showed up in Tallahassee last week, Jeb came out and told them how to get around that little problem too.

Jeb is so devious, every time he gets in trouble, his rules and principles go right out the window.
