Forget the Hopkins Report. We've discovered the solution to the public school systems poor performance: Introduce mold.
Someone talk me through this. In 2006 Cedarbridge had a 53% graduation rate. 2007, a year with major disruption caused by the mold infestation, school evacuation and teacher sick-outs, saw the graduation rate improve to 80%! A 50% improvement in a 12 month period?
I don't buy it. I'd like to buy it. But I can't. It makes no sense. Improvement would be more incremental than that.
What happened in the past 12 months to produce such a big change over a consistent pattern of declining rates?
Someone needs to put some explanation around these numbers. This doesn't seem credible on the surface.
