Failing Schools Take The Show Online...
This joint venture of City of Angels Continuation School, the LAUSD Office of Curriculum and Instruction, Beyond the Bell, and the Education Technology departments will join with Ms. Elliot as the latest unrealistic panacea for addressing longstanding abject failure of public education at LAUSD. It has LAUSD's surrealistic modus operandi all over it:
1. It proposes no security regiment to assure that the students actually do their own work or get by with a little help from their friends or teachers who are more and more terrified of losing their jobs if their students don't pass.
2. It assumes that students with elementary school reading abilities and little knowledge of math can somehow get through secondary core courses that these students have already shown by their previous failure is way beyond their subjective abilities.
3. Fails to ask the foundational question as to why students who have little or no relevant English language skills or relevant foundational math skills could reasonably be expected to pass a course online that they couldn't pass
