The Network for Public Education released state report cards for their 2016 State Report Card today. Below is Delaware’s grade determination, for which they received a grade of D. Personally, I would have given Delaware a grade of D for rejecting high-stakes testing with the behavior over a parent’s right to opt their child out of the Smarter Balanced Assessment. Delaware scored very poorly on the “resisting privatization” category. While Delaware doesn’t take part in any type of voucher system, the push for “school choice” is huge in the First State. The gap between certain charter schools student demographics and their counterparts in the traditional school districts they reside in is gigantic!

I am a proud parent of a son with Tourette's Syndrome and several other co-morbidities. I write on this blog to educate other parents so they know a bit more about not only special education, but all the really bad things that are happening with public schools in Delaware and the USA. We are all in this together, and if our children aren't able to advocate for themselves it's up to us parents! We need to stop letting companies run our schools, and demand our children get a proper education. Our Departments of Education in our states have become weak with fear from the bullying US DOE, and we need to take back our schools! View all posts by Kevin Ohlandt
