APS Reports
▪ Governor releases report on Atlanta Public School investigation

By Associated Press

For the AJC

Buy Wednesday’s AJC in print for an in-depth report from the team that broke the story on cheating in Atlanta public schools in 2008. Here’s some of what we’ll be reporting:

The report describes an enterprise where unethical – and potentially illegal – behavior pierced every level of the district. At Parks Middle School, the percentage of eighth-graders exceeding expectations rose from 1 percent to 46 percent in one year. Now, state investigators accuse more educators of cheating at Parks than any other school. State investigators found cheating at 44 of 56 schools they looked at. We’ll publish the list.

▪ Volume 2 of Special Investigation into CRCT Cheating at APS: School summaries, cont.

▪ Conclusions: Why cheating occurred and cover-up allegations

Another shinning example of what has gone wrong in our public school systems -- or government schools as Neal Boortz calls them. As a former teacher, this report is not surprising. Long before I retired evidence was mounting regarding the very ineffective job in education in DeKalb County
-- and APS was even worse.

Rarely do I agree with Mike Luckovich on anything, but this time, I do ;- ) See his cartoon below.

Herman Cain Wins Cobb Presidential reference Straw Poll at
July 4th Celebration

We conducted a Presidential Preference Straw Poll at the July 4th Celebration and BBQ yesterday. Although the Marietta Daily Journal carried a really good article on the event and gave the results of the poll, many people have been emailing me today asking for the results. So, here they are:

Herman Cain - 43%

Newt Gingrich - 14%

Michele Bachmann - 13%

Rick Perry - 10%

Mitt Romney - 8%

Tim Pawlenty - 5%

Ron Paul - 3.5%

Sarah Palin - 3%

Rick Santorum and Gary Johnson received 1 vote each.

Also on the Straw Poll ballot were Jon Huntsman, Thaddeus McCotter and Buddy Roemer. No votes were cast for any one of these three.

I know that some of you are wandering why we included people who are not officially running. Realizing that straw polls are not scientific, we decided to be all-inclusive to include anyone who may just be thinking about running.

I hope you find this information helpful.
