Did Walworth really ask if they were growing cultures that would become human beings? OMG….these are the people deciding educational standards? ::holds head from spinning::
Even more alarming (if anything could be more alarming) is this passage from Louisiana Voice:
Where others within the Department of Education (DOE) have alluded privately to data suppression and manipulation of school performance scores that artificially inflated graduation rates, Bassett, a band director who said he was “highly qualified” to teach math, publicly charged White, BESE and DOE of misrepresenting test scores and then covering up the lie by removing the data from the Louisiana Believes website. “This is data suppression,” Bassett said.
He said he was asked by his principal last October to look into his school’s score so that it could be improved in the future. “My subsequent research revealed deceit, distortion, manipulation of scores and data suppression,” he said.

Further down, it goes into specifics about VAM and how the data was missing or manipulated. Good God, these people have no conscience nor credibility…
Unfortunately, Louisiana is not alone.
