[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The saddest part is out if every class of around 20 at those schools there are at least 4-5 kids who are motivated, sharp, and their parents care. They don’t get any attention because the lowest most disruptive kids are ruining the education of everyone on the class. Those 4-5 kids should be grouped together but every teacher would want to teach those kids and it makes it harder for teachers who only have low, chronically absent and/or disruptive students. There is no reason why schools should have 0 kids proficient in math. I really wish their were more programs available for the best and brightest in those schools.[/quote]

This is what charter schools are good at —taking the 4-5 kids who have parents who care and consolidating them in one school.
But I think this is all a bit overstated because the test itself sucks.  Our school is mostly children of doctors, lawyers and research scientists and many still aren’t hitting profiency.  Yes, even these kids slipped during the pandemic, but in large part it’s a test problem. The questions are convoluted and don’t track well with the curriculum.[/quote]

Who makes the tests, and who makes the curriculum?[/quote]
