Not So Proficient

  • Thursday, July 10, 2025

Wow, Justin Robertson is bragging on teachers and says we should celebrate for such a good job by Hamilton County Schools. 

I looked at the report, four categories with the highest proficiency being at 47.7 percent in Social Studies, while students were least proficient in math at 37.7 percent. 

What has happened in this country to consider those numbers are acceptable?  No wonder people want to send their children to private schools where they can learn. 

When I was in school 65 was a failing grade, I think someone needs to clean house and start over.
