| LAUSD leadership continues unmoved to employ vacuous feel good rhetoric such as "scaffolding" in lieu of any truly coherent program that has carved out the time and assets necessary to accomplish the work necessary to fix the damage done to an innocent student population before its too late. This type of scaffolding works, because it gives those making repairs both the time and implements necessary to retrofit the damaged building so it can once again stand alone. In the education version, literally no time is set aside to accomplish the work or support the students in their new single-subject secondary environment that rests on the falsely assumes mastery of prior grade level knowledge that these students clearly don't have.Leaving a student who is profoundly behind grade level in such an academic class with the clearly bogus assumption that they will somehow get what they need by osmosis from the other students not only dooms these students who are far behind grade level, but also sucks up all time the minority of students, who are at grade level, need to ultimately compete with students coming from private schools, where all time and degree of class difficult can be made with the assumption that all those students are at grade level. |
