[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skills-based grading for school ratings?Artificially bringing down the top and bringing up the bottom. [/quote]

That’s pretty much it. Everything is going to end up as like a 6-8/10. [/quote]

That's actually pretty awesome.  Greatschools has been directly responsible for the increased stratification/segregation of schools, neighborhoods, and cities.  Making every school scored similarly will help reduce that.[/quote]
Umm no.  It’s going to continue to perpetuate segregation.  My ES and MS scores went down bc Asians and Whites didn’t make enough progress from the previous years (their test scores were already high). [/quote]

Umm yes, that's going to make affluent families think that lower performing schools are better, or at least make figuring out which schools are home to the high performing whites and Asians harder for families seeking that out which may help reduce segregation [/quote]
I think you are overestimating people. [/quote]
