“Closing The Achievement Gap for All Students” Pat Davenport & Dr. Gerald E. Anderson
Who’s To Blame? The college professor said: “Such rawness in a student is a shame, lack of preparation in high school is to blame.”
Who’s To Blame? Said the high school teacher: “Good heavens! That boy’s a fool. The fault of course is with the middle school.”
Who’s To Blame? The middle school teacher said: “From stupidity may I be spared. They sent him in so unprepared.”
Who’s To Blame? The primary teacher huffed: “Kindergarten blockheads all. They call that preparation – why, it’s worse than none at all.”
Who’s To Blame? The kindergarten teacher said: “Such lack of training never did I see. What kind of woman must that mother be.”
Who’s To Blame? The mother said: “Poor helpless child. He’s not to blame. His father’s people were all the same.”
Who’s To Blame? Said the father at the end of the line: “I doubt the rascal’s even mine.” Anonymous
