[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they do.  ALL public schools do this to some extent and anyone who claims otherwise is delusional.  Any public school curriculum is eventually matched with the NCLB test that will be administered that year.

Is this really in dispute?

Some schools spend more time (KIPP) than others (Janney).  Some schools pack it all in in a cram session right before DCCAS and spend the rest of the year doing "autonomous" stuff.   I would imagine that those posters claiming their schools doesn't "teach to the test" (CM, ITS, whatever) have the model that does what it want until it's time to hunker down and cram for a defined period.

That's why it doesn't seem overt to you, new parents.   [/quote]

Do you feel like if you call people new parents it makes you feel like you have more information?

As an "old" parent I can tell you our charter does not teach to the test, which is why we switched to it.  Second, I'm thrilled to have new and innovative parents who are motivated to help with the education movement.  It seems silly that you mock people who want to get involve and help make things better. Don't you think?[/quote]
