The Mess At Eastern High School
So a few administrators lost their jobs at Eastern High School last week when students could not begin the first day of classes because their schedules had not been completed on time. Yawn. I guess they were fired because this was a highly visible dereliction of duty. But what about all the teachers and others who must have realized that the first day of school was not going to go smoothly? What about all of those responsible for the educational malpractice that has been the norm in the nation's capital for decades. What about the fact, as the Washington Post mentions today, that SAT scorers declined last year in many of the city's high schools? When will someone realize that hundreds are going to have to lose their positions before this thing can be turned around? Perhaps only three were terminated because that is as high as administrators there can count.
