Resources to Help Struggling Schools Improve Academic

Columbus, Ohio ¨C Ohio Governor Ted Strickland and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Deborah Delisle announced today that the U.S. Department of Education has approved Ohio's application for $132 million in School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds.

These resources are aimed at helping struggling schools improve academic performance. The $132 million award is part of the $3.5 billion that will be made available to states this spring from money set aside in the 2009 federal budget and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Once again, we have the age old adage of "if we throw money at it, it will improve". Can't try new techniques, right? Can't visit successful school districts and take notes, adopting new operating schemes that were proven successful by others, right? Can't change the teaching techniques or have the admininistration support the classroom teachers in new innovative ways, right? Can't have remedial classes in an after hours scenario for the students that didn't understand the day's classroom instruction as we know that kids don't learn at the same rate, right? Throwing money at the same old failed system does nothing but sustain the failed old system, right? It's like an experiment. Gotta keep adjusting the variables until you come across the solution to the target you are trying to achieve.

Hmm??  Since our schools are "continuously improving," does that mean we won't be needing this money???

Sawan how about this,I told my kids that if they brought home anything below a B on thier report cards I would make thier life miserable by taking away things that they liked and it worked.The problem in Middletown is that thier are too many parents that could care less if thier kids do what they are suposed to do.

While I doubt it can be done, I'd like to see them realign the elementary buildings.  Take the kids with significant home, behavioral, or learning problems and segregate them into one or two of the buildings.  Devote extra staff to them, etc. but that would leave the other buildings with kids who are largely there to learn and who behave!  This makes too much sense therefore can't be done.  Perhaps Ms. Andrew can comment on this.

Sounds like the thing to do Bill. BUT.....we all have read comments on this forum from the teachers themselves, that when they remove a behavioral problem from the classroom, they are only gone for a few minutes before they are returned to the classroom again. If the schools have a policy of being reluctant to remove a problem from the classroom, even for a day, the likelihood of the schools considering removing them from the schools on a permanent basis and placing them in a separate school is probably remote at best. And, of course, there's the age-old, bleeding heart comment of "hurting the kid" because you removed them from the same environment that the general school populace is taught in. No doubt, there will be some parents of some of the problem students crying that their kid is being abused. Sadly, someone will think they have to react to that nonsense.

Vet, I think many parents would rather deny a problem and have the rest of the kids dragged down by their own miscreant.

Bill I have wondered the same thing with the Middle Schools for years.  Two schools each one could be tailored to deal with those that need added attention and have issues versus those that wish to learn at an advanced pace.  But that is unthinkable.Shocked
