So the DoE is wasting money sending out hand-delivered letters? My dd isn't even in school yet, I am just astonished by this waste of resources. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are millions of salary dollars being wasted on teachers who aren't teaching. [ Reply | More ]

the process itself has been such a disaster this year that hand-delivery of letters is the least of the problems. these families need this informations ASAP, and should have had it months ago. I wouldn't begrudge them this. [ Reply | More ]

How's this for DOE wasting money: We just got a note with a BMI score (weight for height) for my K dd, and the "measurements" were taken by the gym teacher IN SEPTEMBER!! 9 months later they expect us to react to a child's height/weight that has obviously changed dramatically. What is the point of sending out these letters 9 MONTHS LATER? Oh, and the best part, is that my daughter apparently SHRUNK 4 inches from her ped's measurements... so she was extra short for her weight, making her OBESE on the score. She's actually very average. Such nonsense! [ Reply | More ]
