The work samples?  [b]As far as I can tell, both the selection of the work samples and their quality is largely a product of a kid’s teacher.[/b]  Teachers who insist on quality work, retain that work, and put time into selecting a sample are going to deliver a much better sample for their kids.  We have had some teachers under which our kids have done beautiful writing work and others under which the same kids have written total crap.   [/quote]

Agree.  The only fair way to get work samples would be to give the same templates out to every school and then have them administer the work samples as a 40 minute test with no teacher input or interference.  Some teachers are otherwise submitting works that are the product of several weeks, teacher feedback, teacher editing, and revisions, while other teachers are grabbing whatever homework assignment they can find.  There isn't enough consistency in the process of producing work samples to make it a meaningful metric.

At the most, good work samples should help kids below the bar get in.  It shouldn't be used to keep kids over the threshold out.  [/quote]
