VERY TELLING ISN'T IT??
This is what I found to be the most interesting within this article:
BENSALEM
Bensalem High School landed in Corrective Action II fifth year status
because not enough students overall, white and economically
disadvantaged students demonstrated proficiency on the math and reading
tests, not enough black students tested at grade level on the math test
and not enough special education students achieved proficiency on the
reading test.
Robert K. Shafer Middle School received a warning
because not enough Latino and economically-disadvantaged students were
proficient in math and not enough special education students were
learning at grade level in math and reading.
Cecelia Snyder
Middle School received a warning because not enough black, Latino and
economically-disadvantaged students demonstrated proficiency in math.
Cornwells Elementary School got the same designation because not enough
special education students were proficient in math and reading.
Samuel K. Faust Elementary School received a warning because not enough
black and special education students were proficient in math and
reading and not enough Latino students demonstrated they were learning
at grade level on the reading test.
Benjamin Rush Elementary
got a warning because not enough black students were proficient in math
and not enough Latino students demonstrated proficiency in reading.
Russell C. Struble Elementary School received a warning because not enough special education students were proficient in math.
What gets me, is that with the High School alone, they have been placed
on this for the FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW!!! I am also seeing a very
discriminatory attitude towards minorities, especially within the middle
and the elementary schools, which really shows the true motives on this
township. I have heard from several people who are of Hindu descent of
alleged discriminatory treatment their children have received, including
despite speaking PERFECT English (Better than anyone I have heard
around here!) being put in ESL (English as a Second Language) Classes,
which is clearly a lazy discriminatory tactic!
I also suspect that
the other reason for this situation is the recent criminal actions of
individuals (Especially ones who are connected to high ranking township
officials.) that were brought to light, but NOTHING is being done about
them. Now before you say, that the Bensalem Police is investigating
this, just remember that having them investigate this, is like the
Iranian president investigate 9/11, the WTC Bombing, and the Holocaust
combined!! NOTHING WILL GET DONE!!
All I can say, is that if this
doesn't give credence to the importance of not only private schools, but
also Charter Schools, I don't know what does.
