The answer is of course no. While it might be safe to say that your school is above the state average, that does not mean the majority of students attending that school are above average - it doesn't include the students who stopped attending that school either. The WASL is very flawed, but so is this whole school system - we're not taking care of our kids.

That should create a real shortage of teachers. Anyone care to see the statistics for teenage pregnancies in Washington? Naw, Dino-Saur doesn't think about why we have any healthcare or education in this state. Nothing is just too expensive for us. Lets save money and pay our politicians more money because gee its just getting too hot around here.

Its hard to tell these two apart, they're such imbeciles - worse than Dee and Dummer - or B. and Bummer. <BR/><BR/>We're faced with unbelievable, spiraling health and education costs and as usual, political paralysis has seized hold of our political leaders, who we elected to govern, not steal from teachers and children or short sheet hospitals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983334520933101277.post-42042242581039287572008-08-06T22:29:00.000-07:002008-08-06T22:29:00.000-07:00Put a sign at all Washington Border crossings - No...Put a sign at all Washington Border crossings - No Dana Center consultants welcome here.

And Washingtonians believed everything B and supporters said. <BR/><BR/>The state's model for funding schools is as crooked as the textbooks that are given to Washington children. You have schools in this state that pretend to educate children and your leaders simply ignore the stark reality.<BR/><BR/>For example, Rossi is a disaster for this state. A lunatic that belongs out of government. He cut 46,000 disadvantaged children off health insurance? <BR/><BR/>Rossi's 2003 "Signature Budget" Threw 46,000 Low-Income Kids off Health Care. <BR/><BR/>"Perhaps the most controversial provision is a proposal to eliminate coverage for an estimated 46,000 children in the state Medicaid program…<BR/><BR/> But in order to help restore some of Locke's cuts, the Senate Republicans want to save about $100 million by dramatically overhauling the state's Medicaid program that currently serves nearly 600,000 children. <BR/><BR/>The GOP plan would lower the income-eligibility level, leaving an estimated 46,000 kids without coverage. Rossi's budget also counts on the state getting permission from the federal government to charge monthly premiums as high as $40." (Seattle Times, 4/2/2003)<BR/><BR/>Rossi Supported Bush Veto of the Federal SCHIP Bill. "There's a children's health care expansion bill pending in D.C. that President Bush has already vetoed once—and now a new one is coming his way. If the bill fails it could undermine legislation passed in Olympia last session that expanded children's health care coverage. Rossi supports Bush's veto. His campaign told me this morning that expanding coverage to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, which is what the federal bill (and our state bill) does, is the "wrong approach," explaining: "the majority of new children that are going to be coming on are either illegal or they currently have health insurance from the private sector." (Seattle Stranger, 10/30/07)<BR/><BR/>Voters will need to replace more than just B. before they will ever see improvement. Who's looking after the people in this state? If you don't do something, you are going to have a huge mess and no one around to clean it up.<BR/><BR/>Repeal the whistle-blower law, so state employees have some protection when they see something is amiss.
