You think FARMS is a important factor to consider.
This is not necessarily the case for everyone else.

I don't care about the FARMS rate itself. I don't want my kid going to a school which has low performance. If the FARMS kids perform better (than non FARMS students),I really don't mind even if it is a 80% FARMS school.

And "to benefit ALL student", no, I don't think so. Politicians want people to believe that, I can certainly understand that part.

Ah, you don't mind [Characteristic A], it's [Characteristic B, which is highly correlated with and partly caused by Characteristic A] that you mind![/quote]

Yes, they are related, but they are not the same thing.

Still I don't mind having a high or low FARMS rate. If you do, please say so.

I don't see anything wrong when I care about the performance of a school, I want a high-performing school. So that is my opinion and I feel confident to say it in public.

Can you say the same about FARMS rate (can you say "I don't see anything wrong about when I care about the FARMS rate of a school. I want a low FARMS school"?)

That is probably why some people just want to tie them together - because they can't argue against people's hope for a high-performing school, so they try to equal that to the hope for a low FARMS school.
