What is the real agenda?

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theory nut, I have come to the conclusion that there is a reason my school is being starved of resources and picked apart by critical visitors. We just had another of those visits, and I'm not looking forward to the faculty debrief meeting, based on what I heard the principal endured. We've been singled out for mandates and nonsense not imposed on the other middle schools in the district, even though we've been repeatedly told otherwise. Funny how no one realizes we can call and email colleagues at the other schools and just ask?
Anyway, the conclusion I've reached is this: the long-range plan is to close the school, and probably convert it to a charter. What other logical reason can there be for withholding resources, running off staff, and browbeating those who remain? We are under capacity, and have been for 3 or 4 years now. Meanwhhile, our nearest neighbor school is just 5 minutes away with trailers, but the board doesn't make the slightest adjustment in attendance zones. It's a formula for failure. 'Tho' this be madness, yet there is method in it.'

The emperor has no clothes

As new Common Core exams are rolled out across the country, more and more of this will happen.
New York State already encountered similar problems with the new tests. Here is Jeannie Kaplan's description of the situation in Colorado: http://kaplanforkids.wordpress.com/2014/11/13/news-flash-students-will-not-learn-the-subject-if-teachers-are-not-allowed-to-teach-the-subject/
