As we have read, the Accountability Ratings have been published and Kent mentioned something that troubles me as a middle school teacher. We have a ton of Elementary Schools with Recognized and Exemplary ratings but the number of middle Schools with similar ratings is almost nil. I'm not placing the blame or accusing anyone of anything in this post but I'm just befuddled as to why these kids move from an Elementary school with such high marks and the middle school they go to can only scrounge up an "acceptable" rating. Anyone have some real reasons why? Is it the content being taught? Test difficulty? What is the big cause for such drops in accountability scores?

I've seen the term "drop out factories" thrown about regarding some of the local DISD high Schools, and it's bothered me quite a bit. I believe the drop out problem begins much earlier, and often in Elementary Schools when kids are held back or "retained" for the first time. We see all the data showing how kids drop out in the 9th or 10th grade. The Student Motivation website gives a handy chart showing graduation rates and demonstrates the huge disparity in sophomores and freshmen along with DISD's paltry graduation rates. Just looking at those numbers you might conclude DISD high Schools are filled with incompetent staff members. But the same data shows the number of kids declines each year, beginning at first grade. Some may be attributed to kids moving school districts, moving out of state, or other reasons, but I believe that there are plenty of kids who are being "held back" for whatever reason (TAKS, attendance, not passing classes, etc) and these places are the real "drop out factories." ...

Bullying has become a major area of concern for Schools across the country. The problem is not just in Middle Schools and High Schools, but in Elementary Schools as well. Many states and districts have taken active roles by requiring Schools to include no bullying messages into their curriculum. Illinois has been particularly proactive in No Bullying school programs. This article offers advice and guidance for Illinois Schools and Schools across the United States who want their Schools to be No Bully Zones There are three keys to a successful anti-bullying program. Start early. Engage students in the message. Keep the message in front of students. 1. Start Early It is never too early to begin teaching children about why you don't want to be a bully and what to do if you they are getting bullied. There are many books with no Bullying messages that are good for story time and bedtime reading for pre-school and kindergarten age students. Suggestions of good early-reading books with no Bully messages are: The Berenstain Bears and the Bully The Bully Blockers Club The Tale of Sir Dragon All of the above books are available from local bookstores or online stores, such as Amazon.com. Lower Elementary students should never be fully excluded from any type of in school bully program.

LEGO has announced a low-end, tethered robotics system called "WeDO" designed to be used in classrooms of Elementary-aged children. It won't replace Mindstorms, but instead serve as an intermediate step between the more fully featured robotics platform and regular, non-robotic LEGO. The WeDo system will be available at the first of the year. Prices have not yet been announced. I wonder if we could get together with LEGO and sponsor a few kits for some Brooklyn Schools. From their press release: The complete LEGO WeDo package includes: • 158 brightly colored LEGO elements, including gears, and levers • One LEGO USB Hub connects directly to a Mac/PC laptop, desktop, OLPC XO or Intel Classmate computer to allow control of hardware input (tilt and motion sensors) and output (motor), thereby bringing models to life • One motor, one motion sensor and one tilt sensor • Drag‐and‐drop icon‐based software that provides an intuitive and easy‐to‐use programming environment suitable for beginners and experienced users alike, developed by a leading provider of engineering hardware and software, National Instruments • Activity pack CD‐Rom provides up to 24 hours of instruction and includes 12 activities based on four themes: Amazing Mechanisms, Wild Animals, Play Soccer and Adventure Stories. Running alongside programming software, activities are introduced via animations. Teacher notes and glossary are also included. Press Release and additional inf ...
