Nanny State of the Week: City fines residents for chipped paint, mismatched curtains

If we were inclined to give out such an award, Pagedale, Missouri, would be a leading contender for Nanny State of the Year.

In this suburb of St. Louis, residents have been ticketed and fined by the town’s police force for violations that don’t even begin to make rational sense.

One resident, Valerie Whitner, has been fined for having chipped paint on the outside of her home and for not attaching a screen door to her back door. She’s been told by city officials she must replace her rain gutters, her siding and put up storm windows. They also told her to mend her fence, cut her lawn and seal up cracks in her home’s foundation.

Whitner’s plight — she owes the city more than $2,400 in violations — made it into the New York Times in November and now she’s one of a handful of city residents who are part of a lawsuit that challenges the nannies in Pagedale.

“Every morning I wake up worried that I’ll get another ticket,” Whitner said in a statement provided by the Institute for Justice, a nonprofit law firm helping with the lawsuit.

Another plaintiff in the class action suit is Mildred Bryant, an 84-year-old grandmother who has received citations from the city for having mismatched curtains and failing to have blinds in every window. She’s been told to repaint her porch too, according to the lawsuit filed last month.

All towns have some silly rules on the books, but Pagedale sets the bar at a new level. It’s against the law for residents to have a basketball hoop, plastic pool or doghouse in their front yards. Satellite dishes are illegal. So are barbeque grills (though the town does graciously make an exception to that ban on “national holidays”)[…]

These Two Tweets Say it All about #ESEA Re-authorization: #AffordableHealthCare Tactics?

Effem tweet 11192015

Missouri Education Watchdog by Gretchen Logue

What’s the reality about the #ESEA re-authorization being an open process? From an activist opposed to this bill and trying to discover exactly what’s in it (sent 11.18.15): I am disgusted with the way the esea reauthorization process is being abused and the lack of access to the document that is under consideration. To begin, members of the conference committee only received the language last night in a cardboard box. It is only in hard copy, so no sharing, and no page numbers, so one would have to count the pages to see how long it is. I have been told it is around five or six inches[…]

1.5 million current and former student SSNs at risk says MO Auditor

Missouri Student Data Collection System

Missouri Education Watchdog by Anne Gassel

A recently released cyber audit of DESE’s student data system (MOSIS) revealed several weaknesses that MO State Auditor Galloway said placed 1.5 million current and former students’ personal information, such as social security numbers, at cyber risk.

The report noted that the state has “no business reason” for collecting social security numbers. Galloway takes a strong position on data security. In a statement to KCUR she said, “We need to be proactive to be sure to limit the collection of that data if it’s not necessary and then be proactive in protecting it to make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.” This is exactly what SB530 (Onder – Dist 2), filed but never passed out of the Senate Education Committee last year, attempted to do […]

Letter To Fordham Snake Oil Salesmen Part 2

12 Saturday Sep 2015

≈ Comments Off on Letter To Fordham Snake Oil Salesmen Part 2

Tags

Common Core Standards Initiative, Missouri, No Child Left Behind Act, Smarter Balanced Practice and Training Tests (SBAC), Thomas B. Fordham Institute


Missouri Education Watchdog by Anne Gassel

Yesterday we published Part 1 of Dr. Bryne’s response to the op ed by Mike Petrilli and Robert Pondiscio about the poor performance of our students on the SBAC test given this past spring. We were suspicious about this having been written for Missouri since it gave inaccurate figures about Missouri such as a gross overstatement of our state remediation rates. Just a little searching turned up the same piece in Connecticut and West Virginia. Today Dr. Byrne provides a side by side comparison of the various pieces and provides Missouri’s present day response.

 

See Part 1 here.

Part 2

snake-oil salesman

 

In the table below are the virtually identical articles Petrilli and Pondiscio placed in various news publications in Connecticut, West Virginia, and Missouri. The text that is common to all of the ads appears in red font; text that intersects between two of the three ads appears in green (Missouri and Connecticut), pink (Connecticut and West Virginia), or blue (Missouri and West Virginia). Words unique to each article is identified in black font. Do you see all the red? Petrilli and Pondiscio use a “cookie cutter/one-size-fits all” approach to standardize their articles about standardizing student performance on common core aligned tests. Why am I not surprised? Below are some points of interest as you contrast the content of the articles in the table:

  • Note the inconsistency in the language referring to state performance standards. Petrilli and Pondicio describe CT and WV as having set a low bar, but, not MO. That’s because Missouri had the 2nd highest performance standards in the country.http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/studies/2011458.pdf ). In fact, Missouri’s original ESEA Flexibility Waiver application stated that MO was adopting the CC standards because our standards were the top three in the country…
