[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Test scores are either a valid measure, or they aren't. [/quote][/b]

That's absurd.  It is quite readonable to think that testing can provide useful information about students without buying that it should be yesrly, that it should drive teacher ratings, that it should dominate classtoom attention.  [/quote]
