Learning Expectations
Melrose High School students will:
Write effectively using Standard English.
Demonstrate the ability to read effectively.
Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively.
Demonstrate the ability to use technology responsibly and effectively.
Demonstrate the ability to problem solve effectively.
Demonstrate an understanding of arts and culture.
Demonstrate an understanding of behaviors that promote wellness.
Demonstrate good citizenship.
Demonstrate the ability to plan and set goals.
Demonstrate an understanding of tolerance and diversity and respect for themselves, others, and their school.


Shocking. Not a single mention of critical thinking, math, computer literacy, history nor civics. But the children will surely emerge from High School well versed in tolerance, diversity, good citizenship and responsible use of technology.

Why would you pick a nickname that is the abbreviation for sewer manhole?

Re: Pathetic New Program of Studies

Watched the SC for the first time since new members were elected. Corduck talked about the Accelerated Lincoln Plan which was "given more time" and was more "in depth and challenging". No one had a comment or question! ? "The need to work on school culture and climate" was stressed due to the "numerous leadership turnovers in the last 3 years".....Not one School Committee Member made a single comment or asked a single question? Really? Illegitimate Gail added nothing as usual. This SC won't be any better than the last group. They expect "free cash" in October!? The schools have had enough of our tax dollars. Neglecting other needs in Melrose due to the schools wasting more than their fair share cannot continue. How about the health and safety of fire and police officers who work in buildings which should have been condemned years ago. Paymore Taymore and the crop of SC incompetents do not help the schools case while advocating for money which we cannot afford. The schools have had far more than their share for a long time! My family voted against the Override and will vote against any other increased taxes. AND we still have kids in the school! MPS are sadly leaving our students behind and more money is not the cure all.

Re: Pathetic New Program of Studies

Nothing is going to improve until the administration and the City as a whole gets their priorities straight and begins to regard actual educating as more important than multi-million dollar bells and whistles. Unfortunately, and probably the best we can hope for, is for it not to get too much worse, but I'm sure not going to hold my breath on that one. There's plenty of room for it to get a whole lot worse.

Re: Pathetic New Program of Studies

There should have been a "Special Election" and the Mayor should never be on the SC. As residents of Ward 5 and parents of three kids in the MPS, we are appalled that GI has a vote on school policy and budgets. She was never a leader as a member of the BOA and will always be a rubber stamper for Taymore. Along with yet another group of SC people who won't question anything makes me feel like crying! Dolan was bad enough on the SC but Infurna will be worse!

Re: Pathetic New Program of Studies

I think the solution is to just have 4 hours of English and 4 hours of math every day and we need to let the teachers physically discipline the students. They are all too soft nowadays

Re: Pathetic New Program of Studies

The kids or the Teachers?

Maybe no one commented on or asked a question about the "Lincoln Accelerated Plan" because they all knew Corduck was leaving for Lexington. Foolish to have her input on the poor school climate due to the revolving door of Principals when she is also planning her exit.

The only training PWL or CT are capable of is toilet training as they're both full $hit. MBM stands for Ms. Bowel Movement.
