[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can't today with all these white parents doing back flips to prove "race has nothing to do with it, it's just my friends saying the school is good!"[/quote]

My favorite is when people say they can't enroll their kids because of 'test scores' but then decry over-testing / inappropriateness of PARCC / opt their children out of testing.[/quote]

You really can't understand what that means?  You're not clear on what a rich curriculum is?  Or well-informed classmates who can contribute meaningfully?  You don't get how an intellectual life can lead someone to perform well on a relatively basic standardized test without having the test drummed into his head so that he can pass?[/quote]

It's fine to be all about a rich curriculum and wanting to avoid testing..

But if you are ALSo going to reject a MS or HS that offers a strong IB or STEM curriculum, because of their past test scores, I think you are being hypocritical. Test scores are either a valid measure, or they aren't. [/quote]
