[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if there is no such thing as IQ, and it's all a blank slate, and anyone can be taught anything, who else ya gonna blame but the teachers when they fail to teach?[/quote] and no such thing as the effects of poverty, either, right? That's now DCPS has been operating. They acknowledge poverty -- they say the care deeply about it and have found the solution for it -- highly effective teachers who "believe" that that all children can learn despite their circumstances. Their own data has shown this hasn't worked - and earlier data did not indicate it would, as academy achievement has always been tied to SES as long as it's been measured. Still, they continue. What's that definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting something different to happen?[/quote]
