This.

Funny how so many "equity" folks supported closing schools for a year and a half.[/quote]

Excellent point. If the teacher unions were really about raising up the bottom performing kids they wouldn't have closed the schools. want a different theory?  A lot of the equity impetus comes from the teacher unions who are pushing equity because without standardized tests, and with equity grading it is hard to show which kids have learned and which haven't and so it's harder to hold teachers and teacher unions accountable. Unions like that.[/quote]

Yup.[/quote]

It's a somewhat predictable response to the excesses of the NCLB era in which teachers were unrealistically expected to be miracle workers.  But it's swinging too far in the opposite direction and unless this is nipped in the bud kids coming out of large public school systems will learn nothing but political ideology.  [/quote]
