Folks,
Didn’t you always suspect that some colleges were really not giving out scholarships they way they were supposed to. YOU WERE RIGHT. A number of high flyer colleges enter into a kind of cartel to target their full pay students and not give out financial need students what they were supposed to get. 5 students sued U. of Chicago and won. They are getting 13.5 million dollars. This is only the beginning. How low can you go?

Folks,
With the truth that “A Nation at Risk” was a hoax, and the reforms that followed, how are public schools really doing? This article is really expository and will make you question all of the critics of our system of public education. Since 90% of all our children in the U.S. go to public schools, we should step back and see how are schools are really progressing. Take a look at the Edmund Burke quotation at the bottom of the site.

This is the latest expense report from the department. We had put it on before, but got a request, so we have it on the site again.

Folks,
WOW. It is hot all over. Friday is predicted to be 101 degrees in Frederick MD. Take care of your selves and stay cool and hydrated. Moms for Liberty is not the first group to try and control public schools. This article is a history of attempted takeovers. It is very interesting. You can find the article at SCORS out loud at the top of the site.

Folks,
This is the CERRA report. If you are not familiar with CERRA, it is the Center for educator recruitment, retention and advancement at Winthrop University. The. numbers are startling. The other posting is the conclusion of How to Destroy public education and rural communities at the same time. You will have to scroll down to the end.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Each year, since the inception of SCORS, we have selected some books for Summer reading. This year we have culled a number of classic books from the banned list of books across the country. We are sure that the titles will be familiar.

Folks,
Hope you all had a great July 4th. As Part 6 of “How to Destroy Public Education and Rural Communities at the same time.” We take a look at charter schools-their birth to what is happening today. Am sure that many of you have a myriad of thoughts about the subject. If you have seen the negative news about the NAEP scores, you might want to see our sideways glance about how we can improve those scores. It is under SCORS out loud. Please don’t take us too seriously.

Folks,
The book banners are still hard at work. This is a comprehensive look at the 360 degrees of book banning across the U.S. We wonder if you have had any of these requests in your school district? We do know of Beaufort’s request and their answer. Take a look at George Bernard Shaw’s quote about censorship below the posts.
