You can always point to that one person failing in a school with highest overall test scores to make a point. [b]But statistically speaking, the schools with the highest overall test scores provide the best education to the most students attending. [/b]I keep asking: do you have an alternative quantitative measure to measure student success?[/quote]

No, statistically speaking, the schools with the highest overall test scores have the most students with high test scores.

Schools with lots of kids from affluent, well-educated families have high test scores. Do you think that's because the teachers and administrators at those schools are better? [/quote]

Yes schools with [b]better parents[/b] have better students who have better scores. You identify with the less successful group of parents, send your kids with the less successful kids but yet think your kids will buck the trend. Cheers to your optimism[/quote]
It looks like one of those "better parents" came by on DCUM to teach us how to identify with the better versions of ourselves.[/quote]

What would you call someone who makes more money, hence a better job, lives in a nicer area, has more successful kids and with higher test scores? Sounds like they did it better to me. This is when you fire back about how you are happy with what you have and you don’t want that type of success anyway. Or maybe like the previous poster who gloats about her and her husband looking better when the went to school with a bunch of average kids. Maybe some kids don’t have be surround with mediocrity to stand out? [/quote]

More money doesn't make you a better person or a better parent.

And the previous poster was merely trying to make the valid and necessary point that one can do well for themselves at an average school even with (horrors) kids there from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. And no one said they are surrounded with mediocrity.

The sneering, classist filth that some people spew on DCC truly disgusts me.[/quote]
