[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how you define doing well. Soft bigotry of low expectations seems apt [/quote]

Wasn’t that phrase a George Bush justification for cutting funds to public schools.  Very cringy.  [/quote]

Cringy and not even accurate. How is recognizing students/schools who performed better than their peers and above the city average during a pandemic low expectations? [/quote]

Because you're taking low preforming schools, comparing them to each other and then celebrating the slightly less bad. Those same results in the suburbs would have people calling for principals' jobs. [/quote]

You're clueless, or worse, rooting for these schools and their kids to fail, if you don't understand the importance of looking at who is doing better and finding out WHY and HOW.  Therein lie very important clues to what we need to do more of, less of, and what other lessons there are to learn.

Do we actually learn what we need to and consistently act on improvements? Not even close to as much as we need to, but it's still the starting place to document who does better and why.[/quote]
