it sounds suspiciously similar to what i had to do to graduate high school 25 years ago. i moved to kentucky in my senior year of high school, only to find that someone, somewhere, had decreed that in order to graduate high school there you had to come up with a "portfolio" over your four years of school. i guess so they had something to measure "accomplishment" other than grades? (on the plus side i had plenty of time to put together my "portfolio" as only one of my teachers gave a crap whether i showed up to class or not.)
not really anything new. "hey, our current criteria for success are garbage!" "oh crap, let's make up some new ones quick without first testing to see if they're any more meaningful!"
and that's my uncool conservative idea.

sounds like NCLB in that ostensibly it is designed to not leave children behind and in reality is likely to do just that

Just now at UCLA: after being called out about the cover up of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald's murder by the Chicago Police Department, Rahm Emanuel smugly responded, "I didn't realize there were so many direct flights from Chicago." pic.twitter.com/seRMrkz2Gb— Catharine Krebs (@CatharineKrebs) February 13, 2018

The mayor’s announcement takes place as Officer Jason Van Dyke’s trial begins in that case. Emanuel said he and his wife decided to "write another chapter together" as their three children have left for college.

yes, now that the three children have left the house, it's time to spend more time at home

Wow. But also the story of dude who quit being Chief of Staff to become fait accompli mayor of Chicago. If he's quitting even trying to be mayor of Chicago, no doubt he's got some massive money-making job waiting for him.

I guess you were a little too blitzed on Molsons to have noticed his pre-mayoral employment or this wouldn't have come as much of a surprise to you.

Burge was convicted in 2010 for lying about torturing suspects. He was accused of leading the abuse and torture of hundreds of African-American suspects, some by use of a cattle prodder or suffocation by plastic, forcing confessions from dozens.
