[quote=Anonymous][quote] If the bean counters in the sky are seeing tests like this, the numbers are totally out of context. Only the teacher in the classroom can give the bigger picture for this student. The student may be forced to take the test because the parents have refused Special Education. The student may not speak English well and the parents have refused ESOL (which happens quite a bit). The student may not care about the test. The student may be chronically absent from school. All kinds of stuff can be going on, but the bean counters will immediately think the school is failing or the teacher is failing. Only the people at the local level will have the entire picture. [/quote] And, most important, the student may never have been in school before and may not speak English at all. [/quote]
