[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people know these rankings aren’t about teacher quality, but instead the academic preparedness and performance of the peer groups. And it’s ridiculous to pretend that isn’t what matters the most. If you can avoid it you don’t want your kids at schools where the focus is primarily on teaching kids English and getting high school kids up to the level of 5th graders. [/quote] What a strange takeaway. Quite the fantasy you have there, pp. That isn't what is happening in VA schools. Agree the focus on test scores may be disproportionate but if what you were saying were true, Virginia students wouldn't score as high on standardized tests as they do. But if you look at the methodology, you'll see that it's more than just test scores.[/quote]
