[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Actually Whitman's GS rating was 4 for a while. Because when rich white kids do badly on standardized tests it's because they're too smart to care about the test.  [/quote]

They boycotted the test. Everyone knows this.  The drooling with jealously non-Whitman parents living in discount houses keep trying to spin it to their benefit. [/quote]
Did it ever occur to you that other kids from other schools might not care about PARCC so they tanked it on purpose, too?  Just randomly chose answers like I'm sure those Whitman students did?[/quote]

Oh that's IMPOSSIBLE because it doesn't fit with the narrative Whitman parents have spun up. And when we point it out, we're apparently just jealous!

:lol:  :roll: [/quote]

It has nothing to do with fitting a narrative.  It is fact that a large portion of Whitman kids did not care about PARCC and purposely did poorly.  It isn’t speculation.  It happened.  You are free to believe what you want.  It is obvious that you are jealous of Whitman.  You want the school to have a bad reputation for no other reason than jealousy.  Whitman parents really don’t care if you don’t believe the facts.  But denying you are jealous is laughable.[/quote]
DP... it is also widely known that some other students from other schools also don't care about PARCC and purposely tanked it, ie, they didn't try.

Speaking for myself, I am not jealous of Whitman. Not one bit. We looked at houses out that way and decided against it. We moved from an area whiter and richer than Whitman.

My kids go to schools rated 4.  I'm fine with that because I know that even if they went to schools rated a 5, they'd probably get similar scores and grades that they are getting in their 4 rated schools.  Similarly, I'm pretty sure a student at Whitman who does well will do equally well at a 4 rated school.  Whitman doesn't have a different curriculum nor does it have the best teachers in the county.  It has money and not a lot of poor kids. That's about it.

Exactly, the Whitman excuse is the norm in many schools.  Lots of URM just don't care about these tests at all.  Same result....[/quote]
