As you may know, the State’s school “report cards” were released yesterday. I found some of the information really interesting. For example, did you know that almost 20% of Madison’s school kids have only limited English, but that number drops almost in half if you move to Milwaukee? Also, did you know that Madison Metro’s student population is 48.6% economically disadvantaged? That’s crazy. And more than 82% of Milwaukee’s school population is economically disadvantaged? 82%!? That’s crazy! I mean: that’s CRAZY. Geez Louise do we have some work to do.
Anyway, so I’ve been scanning the interwebs for other Sconnie education news and came upon this. I don’t really have too much of an opinion on it right now, but I think it’s interesting. Any thoughts, friends?
