"Fails to align itself with Lousiana Policy", the curricula the laws and guidelines by each state on education change faster than a microbe divides (every 20mins). These policies are enacted by individuals whom have never set foot in a public school. Yes Mosaica must align, but state education loves to spring news things even if an application is completely water tight, (I've witnessed). Until the US system stops reinventing the wheel, (times tables, alphabet, enforcing pedagogy in mathematics and restricting creativity), the problems will continue. Constantly moving the goalposts will result in never kicking that field goal.<br /><br />In addition the comment regarding, cheating in examinations. Is that a mosaica conspiracy? Or a negligent teacher or a devious set of students. I'd like a link or the results of an investigation to go on rather than hanging a company out to dry.<br /><br />Last but not least the US pays well over 9 times the amount per student ($27000) There is a grotesque financial investment for sports. Yet the US achieves poorly in Maths and science. Perhaps, if US education modeled itself on Finland rather than the UK health system (where there are more administrators than beds; akin to US universities dying because of not hiring Professors to teach content but believe unlimited numbers of Admin and VPs will solve the problem), maybe, just maybe the education would improve. But alas no, all that dead wood needs to be cut out, and use systems that worked. To much focus on busy work, buzzwords and new fangled business. No boots on the ground, no promotion from within, just money syphoners, acquisitions and death of US industry and institutions. Take it back people from the false job creators, the self preservationists and the professional blaggers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191988759715347962.post-3464851937866884632014-08-15T08:49:35.804-07:002014-08-15T08:49:35.804-07:00Yet this school is still allowed to operate.

Talking about data problems in columbus public schools. This school has tons of data rigging. ODE has been informed of this matter. But, as always they are still allowed to operate.ODE has failed to protect the children that was forced to leave by being bullied by the principal. Shame on you ODE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191988759715347962.post-11046639168216545662014-07-23T05:33:13.219-07:002014-07-23T05:33:13.219-07:00Regarding Columbus Preparatory Academy, the financ...Regarding Columbus Preparatory Academy, the finances of the school do not indicate success. The school has a 5 million dollar debt and has operated at half-million to million dollar deficits during the last five years. The school's teacher have stated to me that they have been instructed to "help" students with testing. This "help" was guiding the students toward the correct answers during state testing time. The school cannot operate without Mosaica's financial help and will fail if it does not have a person line of credit from Mosaica.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191988759715347962.post-72281970413189036822014-04-28T22:40:13.274-07:002014-04-28T22:40:13.274-07:00I had two kids in Columbus Preparatory Academy for...I had two kids in Columbus Preparatory Academy for several years. The improvement was real, and can be directly attributed to principal Chad Carr. He was relentlessly focused on both academics and discipline. The school regularly held what can only be described as academic pep rallies. I have never before or since seen a school put so much focus on generating student enthusiasm about academic excellence. <br /><br />If you read parent reviews of the place, they are almost universally excellent.

During that time numerous suspicious things were witnessed by both staff and parents. In the highly competative school environment in Dubai, Mosaica tried to increase their standings through malpractice and dishonesty. Students were marked as "present" when they were absent. Students were allowed to take exams home, write standardized tests at home, and grades were changed on report cards. There was no salary scale for teachers and all teachers were expected to fill in for classes that were without permanent teachers for months. At the end of the academic year, Mosaica was asked to leave and another educational administrative company took over the guidance of the school. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
