[quote=Anonymous][quote]Agreed. We need to stop associating school success with test scores. There is more to being a good school than just test scores and college acceptance rates. Being in a diverse school, for instance, can teach a child more than what can be tested on or read in any book. Many of us place more of a value on this type of life learning than arbitrary test scores.[/quote]

What a bunch of bullshit. First many of the "diverse" schools are completely segregated inside the school. Try the all white Blair caps program or the desperation to make sure your kid gets into a waterer down CES lest they be left behind in the general population yard. Hypocrisy at its best.

Its tiresome that some posters want to claim that graduating from high school, being prepared for college, and being able to PASS a basic grade level ELA and math class is not important to rationalize sending their kids to a crappy school. These are really bottom of the barrel measures. If you can't make these measures, the school is in trouble and it is not a good learning environment for anyone.

People should be up in arms about the failure rates within MCPS. They shouldn't be trying to hide them or rationalize them away -unless these are MCPS people posting. They should be screaming for the heads of MCPS staff who are failing the kids. They should be screaming for more school interventions or putting schools like Einstein on a probation watch until things improve. Nope -lets instead pretend that academics and learning do not matter. Its simply about existing for a few years. [/quote]
