Why ? Here are the numbers for K-8 Lincoln Schools from : niche.com
59% proficient in math 61% proficient in english What grade do you get with 61% on a report card? You get an F for failure. We spent $13 million a year for our schools and this is what we get. People with the ability to pay $40,000 a year take their kids out of Lincoln schools and put them in private schools like Fenn. You know many families that have done this. We are not traditionally rigorous in teaching. One pair and told me she “liked that her son was not pushed too hard in school” This is a poor foundation which is a recipe for failure in future grades and in life. I have a solution they will not cost any money. 1) Written homework every night that is graded and handed back the next morning with a traditional % grade. 2) The final exam every week on what you learned that week. 3) A report card every Monday morning with average scores of Homeworks and grade on the final exam with a rank in class. I experience this program for three years in 6/7 and eighth grade. I went through Central Catholic high school in Lawrence it was easy. I graduated with a degree in economics from Georgetown university and felt 100% confident that I could learn anything. If these ideas makes sense to you I ask for your vote on March 28 for Lincoln school committee.
