“District nixes cash-for-grades fundraiser
BY LYNN BONNER - STAFF WRITER
…..Selling candy didn’t raise much money last year, so a Goldsboro middle school tried selling grades.
…..However, the fundraiser came to an abrupt halt today after a story in the News & Observer raised concerns about the the practice of selling grades.
…..Wayne County school administrators stopped the fundraiser, issuing a statement this morning.
…..”Yesterday afternoon, the district administration met with [Rosewood Middle School principal] Mrs. Shepherd and directed the the following actions be taken: (1) the fundraiser will be immediately stopped; (2) no extra grade credit will be issued that may have resulted from donations; and (3) beginning Novermber 12, all donations will be returned.”
…..A $20 donation to Rosewood Middle School would have gotten a student 20 test points - 10 extra points on two tests of the student’s choosing. That could raise a B to an A, or a failing grade to a D.
…..Susie Shepherd, the principal, said a parent advisory council came up with the idea, and she endorsed it. She said the council was looking for a new way to raise money.”
So, they stopped only when the press exposed what they were up to - why we have a “free press”. And remember, we ALREADY SPEND $1 TRILLION on government education to begin with!! What were all those lotteries for anyway, the “education” lotteries?
