Jackie Pons, who ran the Jefferson K-12 school day-to-day, delivered Jefferson's first ever "B" grade. It wasn't Eydie Tricquet, the charter-backed superintendent Corcoran's cronies left behind.
When we had Gov. Bob Graham, public schools were better. WE must have equitable funding for public schools and not property tax districts with "good ones".
What's even worse now? It's been a shock. The schools are doing "collaborative learning" models. So get this - students teach students while the teachers sit back and make comments. Most of the graduate classes I took (actually all of them) were a complete joke. These students coming from (I'm assuming charter schools) are clueless. They are so poorly educated. They do the "research" and then make up bad presentations and do the teaching. It's horrible. We have a generation of poorly educated students. I'm not sure they can catch back up.
Top education story of 2024 -- thanks for bringing it to us!
Intriguing. Outstanding depth from one of Florida's best writers. Thank you, Billy. I'll reread this to let it all sink in.
Thats so kind. Thank you. All of you are doing a great job on the ManaSota beat. Important civic work. Very impressed.
