[quote=Anonymous]I personally love how the basis for comparison of schools is dccas data and parents are appalled at the idea of teach to the test schools schools.  The point is to be meeting children where they are and providing them with an outstanding education in a warm and inclusive community (at least that is what I want for my kids).

My kids are at a jklm school.  My daughter in a testing grade scores advanced, I expect my other child is likely to as well when she reaches testing grades.  My love of our school is not pinned to a given year's test scores because I am confident in the quality of education she is receiving and that they are not in fact teaching to the test.  Nothing about this data makes me question whether my children are at the best school, I think they are in my admittedly biased opinion.

And I would like to see how we can bring this line of thinking (thank god my child's HRCS out s ores the jklm schools, it must be better) into the thread about the benefit of a HRCS being that it does not teach to the test.

Are these the same parents or different groups of parents?  Does anyone opting out of the tests themselves care about a school's test score when selecting a school?[/quote]
