[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It is very unlikely to find someone with experience at both schools.  Academics and administration are probably stronger at Mann.[/quote]

I love how some racist pos assumes a majority white school will “obviously” have better academics. [/quote]

Holy Batman, take a gander at their PARCC scores before calling someone a racist pos. Mann does FAR better than LAMB for ELL, black, and hispanic/latino kids. I'd ask Jeff to delete your name calling, but you're so flat out wrong that it's funny and should be left up so other's can see.[/quote]

PARCC scores do not equal better academics. Stop using them as a metric.

Also, it has been proven that standardized test scores are correlated almost directly to household SES and race. So...[/quote]

So…both schools have at-risk populations in the single digits. Difference in school performance is not about SES or race, or one school having easier to teach kids. It’s about the methodology, teaching, or other more complicated factors. Some kids struggle in Montessori and some struggle in immersion. Add push factors that keep families in the schools despite it not being a good fit for their kids, and you have kids that would be doing fine in a monolingual traditional school struggling at LAMB. Maybe they’re better teachers under the circumstances, but if they can’t get kids to grade level that would be at grade level at other schools then no, the academics just aren’t better enough.[/quote]
