[quote=Anonymous]Might as well also submit a truth that really shouldn't be all that surprising (but it seems some of you would nevertheless be surprised by it): almost any "acclaimed" school, anywhere, is only acclaimed because a plurality of the students there would excel academically almost anywhere they went. The key to acclaim is attracting (or collecting) the best students. Low-achieving schools are low-achieving because a plurality of the students there are low-achieving, and they would achieve similarly lowly almost anywhere they went. Teachers really have very little to do with it. The test for a really well-organized, professionally-talented school is whether it can take a plurality of low-achieving students and make them good or better after a few years. Neither Walls nor Wilson, imo, meets that test.[/quote]
