Both of those articles on the school are from over a year ago! NCLB sanctions change every year. You might as well say the most "updated" gas prices are around $2.50 a gallon.

Well find me your article for 2008 with updated information about the same topic because their are none.

My information did not come from a newspaper article. It was in a report made available to teachers this academic year giving the status of all school systems within the state of maryland. Baltimore City and PGCPS were the only 2 under corrective action. I am sure if you would like to you would be able to find similar information by simply googling "Prince George's County Public Schools" and "corrective action" or "watch list".

Since you found the article then why not post it. I found the articles and the state did not put PG county schools under Corrective actions because Dr dreasy had a new plan to improve PG county schools and the state decided that since PG county schools administrations are moving in the right directions in improving the school they changed their minds.

I posted my article that I found when I googled PG county school Corrective action.
Since you found your article why not post it. How have no evidence of this. Stop posting false information.

As I have stated before:

"Both of those articles on the school are from over a year ago! NCLB sanctions change every year. You might as well say the most "updated" gas prices are around $2.50 a gallon."

and

"My information did not come from a newspaper article. It was in a report made available to teachers this academic year giving the status of all school systems within the state of maryland"

There is no ARTICLE. It was a report, a piece of paper, that I cannot magically give an internet link for.

Please actually read my posts before commenting.

P.S. In your article while it is kept off of corrective action (at that time) it was still placed on the watch list.

I think it is quite interesting that some people have absolutely no teaching experience and no experience in working in the PG county schools, but yet claim that they know what they are talking about on this topic. I acknowledge that yes, not all schools in PG county are horrible, but there are very few good ones. I happened to teach for one year in one of the many bad ones, and it was a nightmare of an experience. Test scores were horrible as well as the environment. I know from experience and testing data, that if most of their schools were like my former school, the system has a HUGE problem. Also keep in mind that if you teach in PG or any Maryland county, you gain access to studies and updates regarding testing standards that not just anyone has. These are usually given to teachers and administrators in their school mailboxes or on the employee intranet. Like mbieber1029 said about the report he saw, I read that as well. Once again, it was it was distributed to faculty members in my school. So until you truly have experienced MSA testing and teaching in a PG county school, stop claiming to act like you know everything on the topic.
