[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the advanced kids at key and Mann leave after 3rd or 4 th for private. What's your point again?[/quote]

OP here.

THIS IS BLATANTLY FALSE. Please don't say things that are blatantly AND demonstrably false.

For Key, in 2013-2014, there are MORE advanced students in both reading and math despite their being almost half as many students in 5th grade versus 3rd grade. At Mann, the percentage of students taking the test that test as advanced remains constant in both math and reading (though fewer students are present, historically, in 5th versus 3rd).

READERS, let this be a lesson: [b]don't believe much of anything on this board[/b]. Most people know nothing. Sadly, that does not impede their willingness to speak one iota.

The numbers are here: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Files/downloads/ABOUT%20DCPS/DCPS%20Data/DCPS%20DC%20CAS%20SY2013-2014.xlsx[/quote]

At least, don't automatically believe numbers-based statements that are not backed up by official numbers.[/quote]

OP here.

Those are the only statements to which I pay attention. Lots of people say quantitative-sounding things. I like to see if what they say is true, based upon actual quantitative data. That's how I ended up getting sucked into this whole Hardy-vortex. It is so full of people saying completely false things that I'm astonished, even for an anonymous Internet forum. It's almost as if there exists a contigent dedicated to misinformation that is larger than any contigent seeking honest discussion. [/quote]

DCUM = FOX NEWS CHANNEL  :lol: [/quote]

Of a different kind, but essentially the same indeed :-) Too much time spent talking and posturing, too little time analyzing and discussing real data and facts... [/quote]
