SPS: The Bottom Dollar Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

This wk (in season 2 ep 4 of ITK)………..

We discuss the overwhelming focus of SPS administration on funding (and what we, in QCW, believe is an obvious misuse of said funding) …to the detriment of safety, quality education/critical thinking, preparing students for the real world!

We lay out 3 different areas of concern: *AMI Packets (what they are, the asinine material w/i them, why/how SPS uses em to get more funding)…*Very poor/no standards (in grading/assessing students’ comprehension levels/graduation #’s, etc)…*Top heavy administration/cutting critical job positions.
