Mpls schools
Posted on: Dec. 15 2012,9:13 am by Santorini

Minneapolis schools may lower academic standard for participating in school sports?  Really?
I thought there was a state,
(mn state high school league) across the board school standard..didnt know it was up to individual schools to determine eligibility requirements :dunno:
First the state does away with NCLB accountability because less then 1/2 of the schools couldnt meet the standards, virtually doing away with accountability measures and school responsibility.  Now mpls. wants to dumb it down further?
What happened to sport/ extra curricular activity participation being like a reward for acceptable academia, ya know, you want it...you work for it!
