+1. I find it so funny that they are so defensive about their hypocrisy. Yes, dear, you purchased a 1.2 million dollar, 1,000 sq ft home in upper NW “for the schools”. We all know what you mean. But, hey, you went to a BLM protest and have a little sign in your yard.

Exactly. That’s the point. Nice white liberal parents that get offended when they get called out on their inconsistencies

Do you send your child to a school where literally none of the kids are on grade level?

You're such a toad, I haven't seen a single school where NONE of the kids are on grade level. Oh and that's what differentiated instruction is for. duh. But that would make mini Karen's IQ go down if she was near the poors.

I’m not going to name schools here, but there are schools with no 4s or 5s in PARCC for math, in particular. Whether you send your kid to a school with no, or almost no, kids on grade level is a real question for DC parents, including for parents whose kids are not on grade level. That’s why this is so hard.

Interesting that you think standardized testing, which has proven to be a poor measure time and time again is an indication of a child actually knowing a skill.

+100. Parents constantly cite test scores for schools. It absurd and reflects only parental income.

Actually, it reflects whether the test takers can answer questions correctly.

Actually it reflects how well they can take a test. But I'm sure you already knew this.

The test is used as a proxy for educational attainment.

When NCLB was proposed, it received the support of a large portion of the CBC. The foundational part of NCLB is school accountability based on testing. PARCC testing is a direct result and a legal requirement of NCLB.

Leaving PARCC aside, I am curious if you could propose an alternative objective measure to assess educational attainment. I would also like to understand how you would try to use that assessment to measure attainment without some form of standardization.

Standardized testing by itself isn’t the devil if the questions are culturally inclusive. However, parcc disrupts my Dcps middle school for 6 straight weeks. The SAT matters far more and can be taken in a morning. Why must PARCC take 7-8 days per kid?

Ok well then you need to look harder because our zoned HS has O% of kids on grade level in math. Will you send your child there? How about instead of using lazy stereotypes about white women, you ask why those schools are failing black kids.

Perhaps SOME white women shouldn't be such toads then and it's also not a stereotype. It is the truth about some white women and honestly white men too but thanks for trying. And how would you know, because of the excellent measurement abilities of standardized testing?

Why don't you ask yourself if it's the school or DC failing low SES families? I know perhaps as a white woman you don't know that low SES children, especially children who are not white, start out disadvantaged because their parents read to them less (among many other things) and do not get to help bolster their development as much as the middle class and rich can.
Then there is the issue of KEEPING good teachers at these schools, it's so much easier to work at a non-title 1 school. Parents can be a pain in the bum but NOT because they can't help make the school to home connection. Parents are a child's first teacher, so what do you do if that first teacher doesn't have the resources to be a decent teacher?



I'm not saying all white parents should send their kids to these schools but why won't don't you lobby as hard as you do to open new little W3 schools for title 1 schools to have more supports?
By support I mean, every school has 1 social worker and 1 counselor, at a minimum. Every school has a school librarian. Every school has a reading and math intervention specialist.
Every teacher has 1 paraprofessional. These are tangible things that would help these schools but nope the only ones who lobby for this are some W7 & 8 parents who go ignored and the WTU who's now the 'devil's spawn.'

Please enlighten us white people with information regarding all the lobbying efforts you have made on your children’s behalf to obtain the resources you need mention above. I have no doubt that if Title 1 parents came together and protested regarding lack of resources - it would be all over the news. Do consider utilizing the current political climate to better schools.

I have done plenty, I recently got a 10k grant for my school, as well as new computers pre-covid, and I am active in any protests that I can attend. I also teach self-contained students of color and am very active in the special education community and educate parents about the over-diagnosing and placement of students of color in self-contained rooms.
And no, the protests really don't actually make the news, no one gives AF.

But continue looking to POC to have to educate you, I don't know if you're just old AF or lazy but there's tons of information available online. Stop putting the burden to educate you on random POC and your POC friends.

Believe it or not you would find universal support if you put the hatred of white women aside and focused on children. As to your comments - rest assured, I have plenty of education. But thanks. And no, I will not be digging online as my plate is full. Some facts: DC was just handed an enormous amount of federal money to make schools better - and I hope that your child’s school gets the things you mention. Truly. Know that your argument is not with the white women you clearly resent - but with the Bowser, Ferebee and the gang. These folks have the power to change and always have - they did and do nothing. I also hope to hear the POC moms protested and asked for more from education officials. That might change things.

When the math questions are about high and low tide or the angle of a ski slope, not all kids will be able to process that in the same way if they’ve not experienced it themselves. And I do support shorter standardized tests, just ones that take a day or two rather than multiple weeks.

Oh please. That PP is all over DCUM all the time. She only trots out the “I don’t have to educate you”’ trope as a rhetorical device. She’s more interested in insults and offense than actually having a dialogue. As a side note, “we don’t have to educate you” is possibly the worst and most nonsensical advocacy position I’ve encountered.

Interesting that you think standardized testing, which has proven to be a poor measure time and time again is an indication of a child actually knowing a skill.

+100. Parents constantly cite test scores for schools. It absurd and reflects only parental income.

Actually, it reflects whether the test takers can answer questions correctly.

Actually it reflects how well they can take a test. But I'm sure you already knew this.

The test is used as a proxy for educational attainment.

When NCLB was proposed, it received the support of a large portion of the CBC. The foundational part of NCLB is school accountability based on testing. PARCC testing is a direct result and a legal requirement of NCLB.

Leaving PARCC aside, I am curious if you could propose an alternative objective measure to assess educational attainment. I would also like to understand how you would try to use that assessment to measure attainment without some form of standardization.

Standardized testing by itself isn’t the devil if the questions are culturally inclusive. However, parcc disrupts my Dcps middle school for 6 straight weeks. The SAT matters far more and can be taken in a morning. Why must PARCC take 7-8 days per kid?

You failed to answer my question, but I am curious wow you would propose that a standardized math test be more culturally inclusive?

When the math questions are about high and low tide or the angle of a ski slope, not all kids will be able to process that in the same way if they’ve not experienced it themselves. And I do support shorter standardized tests, just ones that take a day or two rather than multiple weeks.

You're going to need better examples. Most kids in the country have never seen the tides nor gone skiing; that isn't about race.

+1. I find it so funny that they are so defensive about their hypocrisy. Yes, dear, you purchased a 1.2 million dollar, 1,000 sq ft home in upper NW “for the schools”. We all know what you mean. But, hey, you went to a BLM protest and have a little sign in your yard.

Exactly. That’s the point. Nice white liberal parents that get offended when they get called out on their inconsistencies

Do you send your child to a school where literally none of the kids are on grade level?

You're such a toad, I haven't seen a single school where NONE of the kids are on grade level. Oh and that's what differentiated instruction is for. duh. But that would make mini Karen's IQ go down if she was near the poors.

I’m not going to name schools here, but there are schools with no 4s or 5s in PARCC for math, in particular.

Lol what? I’m quite and have never skied nor had I been to the beach until I was 16. I am good at test taking. I agree tests need to be reconfigured and biases removed, but these examples are not them.
