Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Don’t be silly … the reason is obvious … The State math tests are racially biased by testing the white man’s math. Of course these precious children graduated … they are PROUD, DEFIANT, children ovvvvvv cullllooour. What they DO know … is their place in the world. Their place in the welfare line.
Math is racist. Shut-up they explained.
In Notley’s universe math is unimportant but deviant sex practices are top priority. She will even stand up to God on that one. Or at least tell the catholic church what it has to teach.
Graduates from Baltimore’s schools go on to become that city’s Mayor and senior administration. Makes perfect sense to me.
Ha! … or go for their LAST ride in the back of a Policewagon.
How is it they never make mistakes when it’s time to pay the dealer?
How? Because, such a school wouldn’t even understand the mathematical concept of rate.
In the shot of text message saying “Please double check end of the year averages…” there is a just previous statement “you can get cumes finished.” What is cumes? My acronym search came up empty.
“cumes” is probably short for “Cumulatives” .
I remember in one of Mark Steyn’s books his contrasting one of Jack the Ripper’s victims letters to her mother to a memorandum sent around by the Chicago school systems head administrator. One was written by a healing alcoholic
who had been a “lady of the evening” and was trying to find a normal life being a serving woman for an upper class family and some of her spelling and phrasing showed it. The letter itself was actually quite well done and was conveying a lot of hope to her family that she had found an anchor to life and was changing and was full of hope for the future. The Administrator’s memo was,well, not well written, had lots of slang,disjointed and jarring changes in ideas and was pretty much what you’d expect from someone raised in the Chicago system and well rewarded by it. A system like this is how you end up with ordering kiosks at fast food places and only having to recognize “D” and to put a mark beside it on the ballot.
The only purpose of public schools in Baltimore is to warehouse feral children until they are old enough to go to adult prison.
A.Kenny … you should read the “email blasts” sent to my schoolteacher wife from her local OEA teachers UNION … my own children wrote more compressible prose at age 8 (however they WERE privileged, by having two hetero parents who read to them and made them do their homework).
Eels … the schoolchildren serve another ESSENTIAL purpose … $$$$! Schoolchildren = State, Local, and Federal Tax $$$$! That’s the kiddies TRUE purpose for the leftist educational leeches.
Maybe this has something to do with it.
From the linked story…”This “landmark” deal tied teacher pay to performance, and served to elevate Baltimore teachers’ pay to some of the highest beginning and midcareer salaries in the state.”
Incentivizing teachers pay with student performance gets you a whole lot of Diplomas.
… “comprehensible” prose … sheesh, gotta watch that autocorrect like a hawk
For the same reason that Cap’n Waffle Snarfer got a Noble Peace Prize and was elected Precedent.
Did I win?
But think of all the free thinking Scientists without any definable Mission.. PhD’s the lot.. no math to limit the probabilities. Earth Scientists… AKA Global Warming critters
