[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a rise in parents who question value of being overly picky in school selection and believe in supporting and getting involved in local schools. I was extremely picky myself but in hindsight, it wasn't worth it. [/quote] Agree, though I’d replace “less picky” with “more open minded” about what a school that works for your own kid might look like. Same idea though.[/quote] Yes and I think also not being willing to assume that high test scores= high academic performance. I remember when these standardized tests were being rolled out. A lot of parents and educators at the time questioned the validity of these tests and worried how they would impact the learning environment. In DC at least it seems like that critical thinking has been abandoned and hyper focus on standardized test scores has become the norm [/quote]
