[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are saying these at risk schools on a average have 1/5th of the kids on grade level.  The celebrated schools have on average 1/4th of the kids on grade level. Let’s celebrate.  Seriously?

The real question is why is only 1 out of 4 or 5 kids at grade level?   If you say because it’s low SES then you are perpetuating the problem. There are cities with low SES kids doing much better.

The answer is because DCPS is a disaster with its central office, has no implementation of any effective system wide support programs, socially promote all kids, expect local principals to solve systemic wide problems at the local level with no support, and continue to burden teachers with more BS administrative things and testing.

This is why a principal doesn’t last long at the school, leave or get shuffled around to other schools because they can’t fill posts, and there is a high teacher turnover.

But yes, let’s not ask those questions and this is the best we got to celebrate.
