Looting the schools. Destroying the children!-----Flint teachers skip school as student proficiency hits single digits

This was a bad time for a teacher strike By Jamie A. Hope

"A 35% graduation rate indicates that Flint teachers need to spend more time in the classroom, not less.

• "The district was flush with cash just two years ago, when it received $51,193 per pupil in COVID relief funds – more than any other district in the state and among the top in the nation.
• The district gave each employee a $20,500 bonus, as previously reported by CapCon. 
• It also bought 7,200 Chromebooks and iPads, even though there were only 2,989 students at the time...
• Only 6.9% of the district’s third grade students scored proficient on the English language part of the latest M-STEP (the state’s standardized test), according to the Annual Education Report of the Michigan Department of Education. 
• Students did even worse in math, with only 3.6% testing as proficiency.
