bulletman I think from my reading of the post by joekool they were being sarcastic to the post before them. Cape's district as a whole did not meet yearly progress for the second year in a row as Sikeston had the same report. Three fourths of Mo school districts have trouble meeting the goals. One thing that struck me about Sikeston was 95.3% of the students graduated compared to 71.6% of Cape students. Yes some of Capes schools did meet the progress and none of Sikeston's did. I do not put much faith in these tests personally.
I agree the schools should not have to follow NCLB.
The thing about jobs that was posted does not pertain to this data. You have several schools around both Sikeston and Cape so therefore the workforce will be a mix of talent and work ethics. And we have to look at the cost of living in this area compared to the bigger cities. I feel this area has a lot to offer. By this area I mean all of SE Mo, Il, Ky and Tn not just one or two towns.
Bickering about what community is the best or worst does not help matters in this area at all. We all need to try to work together because we are all human beings. Now if Congress and the rest of the government can get that through their thick skulls we could accomplish a lot. Just my opinion.

I guess them having over 40 kids graduate with a 4.0 GPA this year means they are all dumb then. Check KFVS they are saying the same thing about the Cape schools. I guess they will only be able to bring the 7.00 an hour jobs to Cape now.
