Oops... typed in the wrong place in the previous post: What I am saying is that I haven't heard of a better metric than the test scores to assess school performance. What you are trying to do is use test scores to prove me wrong. [/quote]

PP, nobody has said that test scores should be disregarded entirely. So that's a straw man. The discussion has been over whether overall average test scores for a school are a good measure of how good the school is.

And, speaking of goodness, I hope that you're not the PP who thinks that people with more money are more good than people with less money.[/quote]
I am not the PP who believes s/he is better parent because s/he makes more money. That person is a complete moron.

Talking about test scores: I agree, they are not perfect, but they are the only quantitative metric we have. You like it or not, as correlated with SES as they are, the test scores mirror the level of education a school provides. Some school struggle with low SES students and it shows in the test scores. Putting your head in the sand and saying that all the schools are good is something that I expect BOE members to say, not an objective observer.[/quote]
