It seems like the best way to improve everything would be to find a decent test that focuses on the things DCPS actually wants students to be able to accomplish. Does such a test exist? Like the Regents exam in NY?[/quote]

Herein lies that problem.  The only thing DCPS wants students to do is to score higher on PARCC.[/quote]

Every school system wants their enrollees to score higher on whatever test they give. Do you think your observation of some major revelation?

You are missing the point.  You can score higher by teaching to the test or you can score higher by having a content rich curriculum.  Guess which one is in DCPS.[/quote]

You read 8 pages of replies with people explaining to you that "teaching to the test" isn't a a thing. And that's where you ended up? Ok...[/quote]

You have your head in the sand.  I suggest you read the thread again, especially the one from the teacher that has taught at a title 1 elementary school with 1st hand knowledge of the curriculum and what goes on every single day in the classroom.

Enjoy your denial and kid doing worksheets or whatever.[/quote]
