[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief. the PMF and the tiering are only marginally helpful to anyone if you really want to know what is going on at a school.

[b]I think it is more than marginally helpful, but by no means the only way to assess what is going on at a school.  As someone above said, the QSR's are a great resource as well[/b]

It is not apples to apples and it is really unfortunate that the stupid DCPCSB likes to pretend that it is.

[b]It is not a perfect system but I think probably as close as you can get to "apples to apples" as can reasonably be achieved for something as difficult to assess and compare as schools made up of hundreds of kids and staff. I went to a college where 90% of the people I knew loved it.  But it was not great for those 10%, and it didn't matter if you told them 90% of the people were happy.[/b]

It is also unfortunate that stupid DC is wedded to the PARCC even though almost the entire rest of the country has kicked that crappy assessment tot he curb.

[b]High stakes testing and PARCC are good because they force school and political leaders to face up to the challenges of the achievement gap- it makes it more obvious.  But the idea of sitting kids down every year for 6 years in a row for this test seems like overkill[/b]

Anyway, the same thing is true that has been true since the beginning of time: if you are a white high SES kid, you will always be fine.

[b]Statistically true.  America is pretty much set up that way, let's be honest.[/b]

This is why the parents at CMI do not care about their tiering - that white,  fake progressive crowd knows their kids will be fine regardless of the tier of their school on the stupid PMF.

[b]Don't really know any parents at CMI, but I have been surprised by the number of people in this general crowd who ARE super worried about their kids, despite the statistical truth above[/b]
