TODAY'S TOP BIASED STORY

IN THE GREENWICH TIME

COLIN GUSTAFSON AND HIS BUDDIES ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MUST THINK THAT GREENWICH PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS ARE STUPID

Greenwich Time Colin Gustafson Reporter just sucks up the failed up administrators press release. Not one independent education expert, parent, politician, student or single family homeowner is interviewed for the one sided Board Of Education puff piece.

HEADLINES:

After several years of introducing new changes, including a revamp of the curriculum and a fine-tuning of teacher evaluations it is now time to start firing failed school administrators.

As families flee the Greenwich Public School System, failed school administrators continue with yet another one of their modified failed multi year plans.

When are ineffective school board members going to WAKE UP and notice that theses failed school administrators plans to implement or expand this slate of ongoing initiatives is a FAILURE and is not boosting student performance.

QUOTES:

"We're continuing to focus on the same overall goal which is to increase the achievement of every student," from the lowest to the highest achievers, said Failed Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg. "Everything we do is in service of that one goal."

"The new system, by comparison, spells out very clearly what's expected of teachers, said Ellen Flanagan, the district's failed director of human resources, "This is a golden opportunity for teachers to become better at teaching kids.

"We want more time face to face with all the stakeholders," said Failed Deputy Superintendent Kathy Greider. "More contact and more communication. We're bringing everybody to the table this year."

STERNBERG AND HER FAILED ADMINISTRATORS RECORD:

Only a fool would call these results mixed. Here's the truth. That giant sucking sound that taxpayers and parents hear is the sound of failed school administrators flushing their children down the drain. Here is the failed report cards of our high paid school administrators.....


The Department Of Justice may soon visit the school district, because of the school administrator's failure to start to close the growing the achievement gap between white students and lower-income minorities.

The Greenwich School Administrators are repeatedly failing to address the longtime "gender gap" between boys and girls in math. and English.

Greenwich School Administrators allowed elementary and middle-school writing scores to fall for a second year on the Connecticut Mastery Test. (The percentage of students at goal tumbled from 81.2 in 2006, to 79.8 in 2007, to 77.2 in 2008. The "goal" to be satisfactory performance. That means that 23% of Greenwich elementary and middle-school students can not satisfactorily pass the State Of Connecticut's writing test.)

Elementary scores were a disaster. Only North Mianus School was a success story, as it was the only elementary program in the district where proficiency levels increased on the math, reading and writing portions of the CMT.

In 2007-08, Hamilton Avenue School posted the lowest proficiency levels of all elementary schools on every CMT test. It also saw the biggest year-to-year declines in proficiency, with the percentage of at goal students in the writing CMT plummeting from 72.7 percent to 48.1 percent between 2007 and 2008.

The number of black students reaching goal in that test dropped to 32.3 percent in 2008, lower than the at-goal percentages of Hispanics (54.2), whites (82.8) and Asians (87.9).

The poorest and most disadvantaged members of Greenwich Society are being screwed over as failed school administrators cash big fat paychecks.

HERE IS MORE CRAP FROM THE GREENWICH TIME:


Joe Mucherino hates when people call him a meter maid. One of seven parking enforcement officers for the town, he and his colleagues have been called worse, however....

When Dennis Keegan and David West noticed their kids returning from college with pessimistic views about America's political system, they felt compelled to do something.


Two New York women were arrested on Greenwich Avenue late Saturday afternoon for allegedly swiping more than $5,000 worth of clothing, underwear, and other goods after a shoplifting spree of Westport boutiques, police said.

Suzette Rose, 37, of New York, N.Y., and Shushanna Blake, 28, of 1460 Burke Ave., the Bronx, were arrested and charged Saturday with one count each of second-degree larceny by possession, and possession of a shoplifting device, according to police.


Sixteen months after a nor'easter forced him to evacuate his rental home on Hollow Wood Lane in Pemberwick and destroyed his personal possessions, Bucky Creamer is wondering what the town has done to address the flooding problem in his neighborhood.


The end of August is glory time for tomatoes. Locally grown ones are plump and sunburned red, with taut skins and juicy pulp.

Myspace.com, Facebook or LinkedIn are leaders in the genre of networking sites, but some may be looking for another kind of connection.


Anyone who thinks alternative energy is some idealistic, pie-in-the-sky notion, or that it can't be a significant contributor to our energy supplies until the far-distant future, should look around in some of our cities and towns.
