The following qoute clearly shows the disdain the standard times has for new bedford schools. "The results of the spring MCAS test tell a familiar story: a few steps forward, a few steps back."

The ST did not make any judgments on any other district but they couldn't miss the opportunity to take a jab at nbps.

Once again the sub-standard left out the charter school. Why?

the st can get all the awards in the world but that won't stop them from folding.

They left out that the charter school is plagued by the same social diseases. And the lousy blurb about tenth grade does not show the high school had clear improvement in ELA and Science. As far as the losses at the elementary level....duh! The school committee axed all the math and literacy coaches last year. What did they think was going to happen? The standard times is not even a real newspaper. It's clearly a biased personal newsletter that doesn't have the testicular fortitude to take on what the real problem of this district is......the school committee members. The ones that never visit the high school and think they know how to fix it, the ones that condone despicable behavior of students, the ones that retaliate against teachers for exercising their civil liberty of free speech, the ones that scream nepotism while getting jobs for their own cronies. Corruption starts at the top, my friends, by the people with the power to get away with it and trickled down to those who help them like the standard times, who turns an indifferent eye to the utter B.S. that contaminates this district worse than the PCBs!! Everyone says we need to stop pointing fingers. Well I've got 2 more to point. One at the school committee and the other, the middle one, at the standard times.

I couldn't agree more with the last post.
