[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate to say it to the parents of these seriously undereducated kids at Garfield, but with scores like these:

[b]MATH: 52.29% below basic 42.20% basic 4.59% proficient 0.92% advanced
READING: 42.20% below basic 47.71% basic 9.17% proficient 0.92% advanced[/b]

These kids could stand to skip science and enrichment for a while and learn some reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic.

Too bad not to have science education.  But without the ability to read or add, these kids are going to be cut off from the world for the rest of their lives.

Sorry not to be politically correct, but wasn't Garfield rated THE WORST of all DC elementary schools on DC-CAS recently?  Time to teach to the test a little, and this lady sounds like the one to do it.[/quote]

are you endorsing teaching to the test, then, and suggesting that falsifying grades for non-offered science and music classes should be acceptable in DCPS?

WOuldn't it be better to offer these kids intensive reading instruction some other way - in pre-school perhaps?[/quote]
