Exchanges of Late August 2021

Jenny---
I would imagine that you
conducted the entire interview with Robbyn Wacker unaware that St. Cloud is
among the many Minnesota colleges and universities that runs a teacher training
program as a cash cow for herding students through academically insubstantial
undergraduate and graduate degrees so that prospective teachers and those
seeking ascent on the step and lane system can get greater remuneration without
increasing their knowledge base via genuine scholarship---
With best regards---

Mara and Anthony---
Although I well know
well that you scribble for an intellectually corrupt publication, I continue to
marvel at how you let the education establishment dog wag you like a tail.
The subtext and
undergirding reality of your inept reportage is that whatever means of
transport, students alight in classrooms to be academically abused by
knowledge-deficient, skill-deplete curriculum and information-bereft,
abominably trained teachers---
August 28, 2021
Erin and Maryjo---
As cowardly journalistic
mediocrities, you always miss the actual story behind the verbiage of an
education establishment dog that wags you tail-like across the degraded
landscape of public education.
Multi-percentage point drops
under Covid conditions provide a wall behind which those who have academically
abused our children under all societal circumstances for at least four decades
can hover---
Your coverage of K-12
issues is morally unconscionable---
With best wishes---

Anthony---
The actual story, which
you lack the research and analytical skills to uncover, is that Joe Gothard's
scholarly credentials are slim and that not a single academic decision-maker at
the St. Paul Public Schools has the capacity to design knowledge-intensive,
skill-replete curriculum--- and there are very few teachers with the
ability to deliver such a curriculum.
Five years hence,
another journalistic mediocrity at the >Star Tribune< will, in the
absence of the needed overhaul, be issuing a similar account as yours of today.
As Gothard and others in
the education establishment continue to wag you like a tail, you, Klecker,
Golden, and Humphrey abet the academic abuse of our public school students---
Neal---
Your articles on North
Minneapolis draw attention to notable entrepreneurial endeavors the
effectiveness of which will ever be undermined by a community that is
academically abused by the Minneapolis Public Schools---
With best wishes---

Ryan---
Your story is worthy but is
replete with subtexts pertinent to teacher training programs at UMN TC &
Mankato that are chief culprits in creating a public school system that dooms
so many to incarceration---
With best regards---
Great
to meet you, too.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] A courageous
journalist would focus on the academic abuse of Minneapolis Public Schools
students---- and of students in the schools at Red Lake and other Native
communities---

Mara---
In
academic year 2018-2019, only 11% of Bethune students were proficient in
mathematics, 17% in reading, and 0%--- that's not a single student--- in
science. Kelly Woods has insubstantial academic credentials, as does the
teaching staff. Status as an arts magnet merely obscures the fact that
prospects for significant academic improvement are nil.
You
remain a journalistic mediocrity, at best, whose articles do a severe injustice
to children living at the urban core.

best wishes---
