After Rejecting Stimulus Funds For Education, Palin And Sanford Now Opt-Out Of National Standards
Yesterday, Education Week reported that 46 states have agreed to join forces to create common academic standards in math and English language arts through an effort led by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. A primary goal of the initiative is to “eliminate the patchwork of academic standards across the country that result in students in the same grades learning different things in different states.” In Mississippi, for instance, 90 percent of fourth-graders passed the state reading exam in 2007, according to U.S. Department of Education data. But only 51 percent had at least “basic” or “partial mastery” on the test known as the Nation’s Report Card.
Republican Governors Sarah Palin of Alaska and Mark Sanford of South Carolina – the same governors who postured to reject millions of education stimulus funds – are among the four governors refusing to join the initiative. In a press release Palin said:
Alaska’s decision not to participate until after we monitor this is based on our desire to spend our time and public resources to improve instruction in the classroom and to form productive relationships between schools and the communities they serve.
However, Alaska state education commissioner Larry LeDoux noted that merely signing up for the initiative would not drain any state resources. The Washington Post reported that the sign-up phase for the initiative is a preliminary step and that later “each state would decide individually whether to adopt” the proposal recommended by the organizers.
South Carolina cannot officially join the initiative because Sanford refused to co-sign South Carolina’s application with State Superintendent of Education Jim Rex. Sanford’s spokesman said he opposed signing the application because the “governor does not have a role in implementing education policy.” However, Rex is a strong proponent of the initiative and by refusing to sign the letter, Sanford is essentially setting education policy. Sanford’s obstruction most likely stems from Rex’s outspoken criticism of Sanford’s decision to block $700 million in stimulus money for education and public safety.
According to a report by the Center for American Progress and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on educational effectiveness, both South Carolina and Alaska received a ‘D’ in overall academic achievement:
Notably, this initiative is a voluntary effort that promotes ideas from the states – something conservatives claim to support – rather than a mandate decided by an agency in Washington, DC.

June 2nd, 2009 at 6:51 pmthese two clowns know full well if their respective backwater states were to participate, there’s no way in hell they’d be able to compete with the northeast. since both of these clowns have their sites on going national and after the debacle of no child left behind, the one thing they don’t want to appear is weak on education.

This is going to take some explaining:
The California Supreme Court unanimously overturned a billion-dollar class-action award against Bank of America Corp. on Monday, ruling that banks can collect overdraft fees from accounts in which government benefits intended for subsistence are directly deposited. like Social Security benefits, which are mostly directly deposited.

Remember folks, totally ignore Merde, he is not worth responding to..

June 2nd, 2009 at 6:58 pmIf you’re going to bother federalizing education, then you’d think the geniuses at the Dept. of Ed could figure out who has dumbed down tests and who doesn’t.
A big part of the reason that some states have worse academic performance is simply culture and economics. In the south, there are some really great public schools, but there are a lot of students that are just rejects and dropouts. It’s not the school’s fault and it has nothing to do with funding.
Same goes for public schools in places like DC and NYC.

June 2nd, 2009 at 6:59 pmwell alejandro,
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 pmpart of the problem with NCLB is exactly that. states are told they need to test but there’s no oversight in terms of the kind of test of the degreee of difficulty.
The mystery of where people this stupid come from has been resolved. Palin and Sanford desire all the children of Alaska and South Carolina to be just as ignorant, illogical, and uninformed as they are.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 pmWow, i didn’t know so many people are so worried about Alaska.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:03 pmYeah, NCLB is garbage.
Thanks Bush. And Ted Kennedy.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:04 pmPalin opted out of her own education.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:05 pmSo I guess the White Rump that is the GOP in the South has a chapter in Alaska. Frankly, they deserve each other.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:06 pmherein lies the problem. yes, kennedy sponsored it and the repukies promised to fund it. big surprise, the repukies welched on the funding because it’s their wet dream to see the public school system failed and for it to be privatized.

What do you do “in the field of education?” I mean, no offense, but school janitors are “in the field” too…
I was a classroom teacher, then went back to grad school, got a Ph.D. in education, taught it in two major universities. I can speak with some authority on the matter, too. And I will repeat: national standards are a joke. For the reasons that Alejandro articulated, but for others as well. National standards do NOT help students succeed, they are designed to help (certain) students fail.

I’ll take a shot…
NCLB is so ludicrous because schools resort to ‘teaching to the test’ which results in very narrow information and reduces the curriculum not to balanced, broad information but simple, winnowed recall of specific answers.
This is a contributing factor in the dumbing down.

everyone agrees NCLB is ridiculous however, it isn’t going away anytime in the near future. the point i’m trying to make is this:
if schools nationawide are competing for the same federal funding and schools in the south have lower standards on their testing than in the northeast then shouldn’t there be a nationwide standard to ensure funding is going where it truly belongs?
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:30 pm- - john the backdoor boy = merdad.

.
Common standards would be a great idea. I’ve known a number of people who’ve moved from one state from another only to find their kids basically had to repeat the same last year’s worth of information again (often making them bored with school) or worse, end up missing a year’s worth of information. Grade-by-grade coordination in educational standards between states should thus be viewed as similar to honoring each others’ issued drivers’ licenses.
.
Sanford’s spokesman said he opposed signing the application because the “governor does not have a role in implementing education policy.”
Dereliction of duty. States are responsible for education under the current system. Unless he’s talking about the State Superintendent, in which case he’s preventing him from performing that role, by blocking his request.

I won’t argue with you about the money part, howsoever irrelevant it is to the actual measurement of performance. It’s not unlike having a national driver’s license, or a national bar exam. Situations and laws differ everywhere. Students are not standardizable. Folks have been trying for close to 100 years, and failing…or failing students, in the effort.
As a teacher, you know: federal money is a very small part of school budgets. most (over 90% in most places) comes from state allocations. I have sat in ed. finance meetings wherein wealth, earnest white men (mostly) discuss the LEAST they can do for poor, often black/brown, usually rural schools.
There’s a larger point, though, which you also should have been made aware of, at some point. Did you ever take a course in education stat? If so, you know that comparing test scores between students is almost meaningless, based on far too many variables to list here.
I cannot recall the exact source, but there is one statistic–upon which I stumbled in my first semester in doc school–which showed that one statistical ‘variable’, the socio-economic status of the family, which accounts for more than 65% of ALL between-student variation on between-student scores on standardized measures of ‘achievement.’
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:43 pmEducation initiatives, like gun control and so many other issues, tend to bring out “all or nothing” thinking from all sides. Clearly, it would be advantageous to have some coordination and commonality. But? The fear that something will be imposed without representation scares people off.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:47 pmI’d also like to note, than when we employ the “freeze-em-out” method to trolling, the threads won’t be in disarray once TP gets off their duff and cleans the shop because all the meaningful posts will be free of any references to the troll-shit-spray.

Theoretically that would be a great idea. Unfortunately, there are mitigating factors that would derail such an effort.
Standards of living, information availability, lifestyles, economic inequity, etc. Progress in a host of sectors in the south doesn’t match sectors in the north, or east, or what have you. A national standard presumes similar competing opportunities and that just isn’t the case, currently.
Depressed areas would not have the same playing field as middle income areas. Add to that that segregated areas still abound in the south, fewer up north.
There are a plethora of variables to resolve.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:50 pmI wonder if these scores account for children with learning disabilities? And what will these “national standards” do about children with learning disabilities? Alot of children are just falling through the cracks because of this issue. I think it’s wrong to fail a child or cause them to get left back because they didn’t pass an exam like the “EOG.”

I recently used Interstate 95, having just returned to New England from a vacation in Florida. The deplorable condition of that road in Sanford’s state makes me wonder if he has his head screwed on straight. Take the money and create some jobs.

It would be really funny to have Arnold recalled after he got the job because they recalled Gray Davis.
Gray Davis was actually a good governor. The financial problems in the state were not necessarily of his doing, but the state blamed him anyway. Like they are blaming Arnold now, even though a lot of their problems are due to Arnold’s inability to govern.
June 2nd, 2009 at 8:20 pmI have to hand it to the ThinkProgress picture pickers!

Resorting to childish insults when facts get in your way I see, not too uncommon coming from a liberal. Let’s face it, California never really had a good education system.

June 2nd, 2009 at 9:18 pmPalin and Sanford are promoting politics over pragmatism in an effort to be embraced by the hard core right wing base of the GOP.

Here, I won’t sugar coat it for you liberals. This is how it is.
The states that you claim are “liberal” and make great grades are ONLY scoring such because these states have a low percentage of trash. You see, when you ship in inner city kids, illegal kids that don’t speak english and other forms of human waste into schools you essentially dumb down that school. Now, picture that on a massive scale. Lets take a look at Maine. The state is 98% ( give or take ) white. The state scored a B. The state also has much less crime and violence. Take a look at the dakotas and other northern midwestern states as well. These states have low levels of trash. Do you see where I’m going with this?

So how does that explain why the Kansas state board doesn’t understand the difference between science and pseudo-science in the guise of ‘intelligent design.’
Further, if white/english-speaking edumacated people aren’t considered ‘human waste,’ why can’t they understand evolution, or worse, stop creating circumstances that murder over 1 million people and cost billions of dollars.
bush’s supposedly educated, white, privileged self, and his cohorts, also self-described as educated, murdered hundreds of thousands of people at an incalculable cost.

Hard to say unless the correct tests are given, and that would be difficult. Intelligence is not something one test can measure, especially since SAT style tests tend to favor those who are better at process of elimination than actual knowledge.
I dislike the whole concept of overall IQ. Some people are smarter in different fields in comparison to others. I’m sure someone who can run circles around another in math and sciences could be spiked like a football if the test was a multiple-choice quiz.
Other than that, let’s not prejudge people, especially in the intelligence category. Some people could demonstrate more intelligence if a computer was not involved at all.

In honor of the 44th President of the United States,
Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new Flavor:
“Barocky Road”
Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate,
And surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla
portion of the mix is not openly advertised and
usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and
flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
The cost is $100.00 per scoop.
When purchased it will be presented to you in a
large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is
taken away and given to the person in line behind
you.
You are left with an empty wallet and no change,
Holding an empty cone with no hope of getting
any ice cream.
Are you stimulated??
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:11 pmAh, the sweet smell of fresh clean air. The gay bashing moron and it’s racist pal have been so pwned by the best of the TPers.

He also endorsed Obama, and frequently sides with the democrats. He’s a RINO, a mediocre actor and a horrible statesman.
Schwarzenegger did not endorse Obama.
He most certainly is a RINO, as are nearly all Republicans in Democrat-leaning states, such as Bloomberg or Snowe. Hint: if they weren’t, they wouldn’t have been elected. He’s actually an awful actor. I don’t know about “statesmanship” though. He seems to have done OK.

I think it’s hilarious when the trolls (no realitycheck and intellectual airhead) get all sensitive about name calling but will not hesitate to call others names!
Conservatives do this in all walks of life. The only proper response is to backhand them again until they learn to stop blubbering about being abused or whatever it is they’re sobbing about. They’ll be tolerable once they learn their place.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:26 pmOh and in case RC tries to use the “wah I’m a disabled vet. I saved your butts” crap in response to my comment: I’m also a disabled vet so don’t bother :)

I got the impression that the Governator was elected because he’s well the Governator rather than him leaning Dem to be honest. I remember the election pretty well and that seemed to be all I heard about. Sadly I voted for the qualified guy and Arnold still wins.

Remember, he was up against a porn star, Herve Villachaiz and like 50 other people. That was all about name recognition. I do give him some props for actually going middle-of-the-road and exceeding expectations, even if he wasn’t qualified.

June 2nd, 2009 at 11:57 pmThis would be sad, were it not so funny.
1) Those that want to run for president (Palin, Romney, Sanford, Pawlenty) in 2012 just blatantly oppose Obama, Congress, and the fact they lost big in 2008;
2) Those that hold no office and therefore have a license to just spew (Limbaugh, Beck, Maulkin and Cheney), do so.
Meanwhile, down at the farm, the elected Republicans let Group 2 do the talking for them while recognizing that they have to chose someone from group 1 to support, while somehow discounting the vitriol.
Personally, I’m pulling for Palin/Gingrich in 2012. The Dream Team.

i’ve been keeping up with that ‘Yemen, arrest, Somali passport, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad’ story – all i can find, it’s sourced back to abc… and there’s never a time given for that trip to yemen…
i wonder when that was… and asked that when i posted the comment earlier…
will know more tomorrow…
June 3rd, 2009 at 1:19 amg’nite.
ah ha – found this bit:
Muhammad had been under investigation by an FBI-led terrorism task force since he returned to the United States from Yemen last year, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official said Muhammad had been jailed in Yemen at some point for using a Somali passport. The official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation, spoke on condition of anonymity.

June 3rd, 2009 at 2:39 amObviously, the volunteer nature of the program was too much for Sanford and Palin to grasp. Too many words in one sentence, no doubt. Some of my great-great grandchildren live in Alaska and it seems to be of no concern to Palin that the Alaska schools are in terrible shape. I cannot speak to the issue in South Carolina because I have never lived there. I do know that the state received a D in grading their education program as did Alaska. Amazing that a governor would pass on money that could help improve his schools. Then, perhaps his reason is because he cares less for the failing nature of his state’s schools. Very sad for those kids who need attention right now, though.

My thoughts exactly, Skorpeo.
This will also create a demographic that wants to see someone with their low intellectual ability rise to positions of power to represent their ignorance. The Republicans count on being able to place oblivious morons in powerful positions. You either need the lack of a conscience or ignorance to the real agenda to carry it out.
Americans can do anything. They can squeeze coal with their buttcheeks and produce diamonds. This is why we should allow ceos to make more bonuses by exploiting cheap overseas labor and not worry about protecting living wage jobs in America.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 amThere’s a good idea. Since underprivileged children tend to have more difficulty in school, we’ll just get rid of the public schools altogether. Then they won’t have to worry about poor grades, since they won’t be going to school. While we are at it, let’s institute the entire Libertarian platform and eliminate child labor laws. Since those youngsters will no longer be going to school, we can put them to work in the4 coal mines, just like the good ol’ days.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:25 amI wonder if intellectual heavyweight has any understanding of the political divide that exists in California ? Southern California is largely conservative with Orange county being the epicenter of Republicanism. The North is far more liberal but to characterize the state as a liberal bastion is to not understand the state.

So I guess 2 + 2 = 5 in the south?????
The arguement is stupid. History doesn’t change if you live in the North of the country. Science doens’t change if you live in the western part of the country!!!
IF WHAT YOU HAVE TO TEACH IS 2+2= 4 THEN TEACH WHAT YOU HAVE TO TEACH. I understand the arguement that kids are different however the basics of what has to be learned is the same. In Europe, kids are taught Art history in grade 4. Are our kids to inept to study???? or is it that we are to stupid to find ways to ingage our kids in this world full of wonder????
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!!!! Take that to the bank SC AND Alaska!!!and the rest of the ignorant states that puts education on a invoice. IDIOTS!!!

In fact, your article reveals that these schools are intentionally being used to manufacture “evidence” for an agenda, and using Native American kids as their guinea pigs to do so, to boot:
So they are aggressively right-wing in everything they say, whether it affects the classroom or not. I wonder why. To that point, there’s an interesting point, from the original article…
I wonder how much total extra funding they’re getting from wingnut groups, in addition to state funds, just for spouting wingnut beliefs at the top of their lungs? I’m pretty sure that the other schools that their results are being compared to aren’t getting similar grants.

I’m a musician and I kinda have the feeling that in the future people will pay for live performances, because we have computer software that is very close to sounding like a musical instrument, with a modelled human touch. So, if a person that has never played the guitar, can click a button and sound like Jimi Hendrix, than what is the coolness about all this digital music really? Infact, I think that the more advanced this gets, the less interesting it becomes. We are still in awe over a youngster that can make the violin cry and we will definately be in even more awe when a person can actually do with their fingers that what we can do in an iPhone application.
