Uh oh. Those unidentified bloggers may be spewing "misinformation, anger and ugliness" again, as stated by Ms. Elia in a prepared statement that she read at the last Board meeting of December of 2008.
I am not sure if anyone knows the true meaning of what effect the Springboard program has on our students. I am not sure if I have read a true objective opinion yet.
What should be of interest to all is that the below public commenter has at least implicated both the public and the bureaucracy for being at fault for the problems within our public education system.

"........ The problems we face go beyond curriculum; they are lazy work ethic, no fear of failing, no consequences at home, and the schools refusing to fail or hold kids accountable, and they know it. Why should they do they work? They know they will get passed. It truly is an uphill battle for teachers who honestly want to better these kids for the world, but whose hands are tied by beauracratic [sic]string."

I am glad you are talking about Springboard. It is a terrible educational system, and it needs to be discussed until it disappears.
