[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Isn't that what we want? To know which schools are actually effective?"

It would make more sense to show which schools are showing growth for students at different levels, but that takes longitudinal data that they don't have. Instead, they are falsely implying that schools with poor students that aren't doing as well as the rich students are doing something wrong. This is illogical. What we need to know is if the students are progressing one grade level equivalent each year. If a school is doing a great job  on remedial work, it will never show up in this rating. If the school is doing a great job in advanced work, it will never show up in this rating. The only schools that will do well is where they have smart kids in every category.

It's all about choosing the peers, not choosing the educational effectiveness.[/quote]

Right. Parents dont want their kids to go to school with the poors. The poors have “poor” habits like indolence, propensity for violence and criminality, lack of intellectual curiousity. Parents dont want to expose their kids to the poors and their poor habits. In fact, the poors themselves dont want to go to school with the other poors bc they know first hand how destructive the poors are - the live right next to them. [/quote]
