[quote=Anonymous]Are you suggesting that there is serious moral hazard to recognizing progress? My child is at one of the recognized schools. The principal could point to gains the school has achieved over the past five years and easily get a job in a suburban school district with much higher academic performance. Same thing for many of the teachers. I don’t know that recognizing their hard work absolves the central office of anything or that it sends a signal that they have reached peak performance. It’s also grating that any time schools with a sizeable at-risk population are recognized, their work is immediately diminished because “they must be teaching to the test” or “but what about middle school.” [/quote]
