As you may have read here or elsewhere. Mayor Mike "Accountability" Bloomberg left back 339 kids by mistake. At first, he'd thought he'd passed too many kids.
Odd behavior indeed from an administration that maintains test scores have nothing whatsoever to do with anyone except teachers. Before, a DoE spokesperson said "This is not really a case of anyone dropping the ball."
The Daily News, though, reports otherwise.
State officials said the preliminary results were never meant to be the final arbiter on promotion.
"It was for the city to use along with its own indicators like teacher observations and grades," said state Education Department spokesman Tom Dunn.
That explains why New York City is the only district in the state to have this problem. Let's see how long it takes them to blame teachers for it.
