More giggling
SF School Lady Arlene Ackerman is trying to overhaul the schools that, you know, totally suck. But there's some resistance.
"They're making us feel like we're dumb," said Luis Hernandez, a junior at John O'Connell High, one of the future Dream Schools. "There's all these schools they could pick on, but they pick on O'Connell because we have low test scores."
Uhh... dude, that's sort of the point. If this is the quality of analysis that comes out of these schools, there's a hell of a long way to go. Allow me to summarize the possibilities:
A) You are dumb, so there's really nothing we can do. Have fun flipping burgers for the rest of your life.
B) You aren't dumb, it's just that your school sucks horribly. In which case, we need to change your school so it doesn't suck as much, and then maybe you can use your not-dumbness to do something useful.
Oh, yeah, and racist tests. Because we all know only white people can divide four by five.
