Lurking
behind the obvious in your serviceable mediocrities is always the actual
story >>>>> a superintendent bereft of
academic training (no training in a key subject area, all degrees received at
obscure Edgewood College, including a laughable degree-mill doctorate); a
school board bought and paid for by the SPFE, which feigns interest for
students on Covid but resists meaningful academic change while NJ in
representing woefully trained teachers; a system that produces an
ignorant citizenry including the 37% SPPS staff members who resist
sensible health mandates.
Your
articles ever cover the obvious, arguably serviceable but never creative or
insightful--- much like those of Mara Klecker, Erin Golden, and biweekly
columnist Myron Medcalf.
Readers
know that they must go to my blog for exhaustive research, incisive inquiry,
revealing data, and focus on those vexatious issues that perpetuate cyclical
poverty at the urban core---

Your
story is the typical serviceable mediocrity observed at the >Star
Tribune<, ever missing the sub-textual, exponentially more significant
reality, in this case,
>>>>>
the comical existence of a department of Learning and Teaching, full of
academically insubstantial central office hacks who possess no advanced
degrees in core subject areas;
>>>>>
the student teachers who will go forth from a degree mill to ruin so many
children's lives;
and
>>>>>
the wretched education that awaits pre-K students as they move through grades
1-12.
Readers
know that they must go to my blog for the truth behind the facade---

Libor---
Year after year, decade after
decade, organizations such as Project Life and Next Step emerge with band-aids
applied to academically abused community members whose lives are lived out on
mean streets or in prison due to wretched public education, which hack
reporters at the >Star Tribune< abet with their variously ignorant,
in-denial, or intellectually corrupt journalism.
Readers know that they must go
to my blog to get the facts and analysis pertinent to cyclical poverty at the
urban cord.

Minneapolis Public Schools Board
of Education members receive $20,000 per annum, a significant income supplement
for all of them.
Board members are with two
exceptions in this MPS iteration political hacks who tacitly promote
knowledge-deficient curriculum and poor teacher quality at the medium.
Wretched public education
produces the ignorant citizenry that issues complaints that never pertain to
the core mission of any locally centralized school district.
And no one at the >Star
Tribune< cares.

As
is your wont, you missed the real story, which is that students at overrated
Eden Prairie fail the grade 11 math MCA in droves and though well-regarded by
paltry USA standards would be laughable as a high school in Singapore or
Taiwan; and that Lakeville South features weak curriculum as led by
academic lightweight principal Shaun Murphey (no graduate degrees in key
academic areas, those received from the degree mill at St. Thomas), whose
pseudo-philosophy of education devalues specified knowledge sets---

There
are many telling signs in Jeffrey Ridlehoover's comments, career, and training
that identify him as an establishment figure who has and will perpetuate the
woeful K-12 system as it is.
Sartell,
by the way, is a locus of one if the six farcical Regional Centers of
Excellence.
Not
knowing the pertinent questions to ask impedes journalistic inquiry and the
conveyance of foundational truths---

Jana,
Zoe, and Erin
Alway
there abides a non-academic issue to obscure the key vexations that will send
knowledge-deficient graduates across the stage to claim a piece of paper that
is a degree in name only, going forth to comprise the ignorant citizenry that
such a system produces---

Erin,
Mara, and Anthony---
The
truly important story obscured by your hack journalism is that Hoover students
perform at abysmal Minnesota state median on MCAs, while only one-third of Twin
Cities Academy students are proficient in math, only 50% proficient in
reading---

Mara---
The
academic portion of the Comprehensive District Design--- which even if
you read, you most likely did not understand--- is a jargon-infested
document that offers no plan for improvement in curriculum, teaching, or
academic achievement.
A
"nice teacher" and "fun game at recess" do not portend
academic advance.
And
whether ignorant, in denial, or outright morally corrupt, neither you nor
anyone at the >Star Tribune< cares.

Two children under age 10 dead;
a 12 year-old gone; a 10 year-old recuperating from gunshot
wounds--- and as long as abysmal K-12 education promotes cyclical poverty
at the urban core, young people will be committed to mean streets leading to
early psychic or physical death--- as >Star Tribune< education
reporters continue to do the bidding of the establishment teachers and
administrators responsible.
For assuredly, whether ignorant, in
denial, or outright morally corrupt, not a single reporter or columnist at the
>Star Tribune< cares---
