[quote=Anonymous]One of the more egregious points in this shoddy paper is their major point that “test score and star releases don’t change the DCUM conversation.” And they use that to conclude DCUM doesn’t care about true quality. Which makes the assumption that TEST SCORES REFLECT TRUE SCHOOL QUALITY. The more accurate conclusion is “DCUM posters incorporate more than test scores in their evaluation of a school.” This addiction to testing from education researchers is really a problem. Imagine buying a home based only on its “walk score.” Or valuing a thinktank based only on its citation numbers. So much of school quality is teacher intangibles. Brookings doesn’t hire based on numbers alone and we shouldn’t choose schools based on impoverished data and bad research metrics. [/quote]
