[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there are two types of insecure parents: those who use test scores to justify how much they paid for their Bethesda house and those who claim that test scores don't matter because their kids get a good education anyway. Am I missing something?[/quote]

I suspect you miss a lot because clearly this thread has gone over your head. You've oversimplified.

Standardized test scores are fine and should be measured and aggregated. But there are many parents in the DCC who don't feel aggregate standardized test scores = moving to a "GS rating of 9 or 10" area because they know their kids can get a fine education in the DCC. Having a lot of low-income kids with many barriers does not = schools can't educate. My kids don't have those barriers, have access to many assets that are shaping them and preparing them for college and the world, and are able to take advantage of a lot of the innovative programs in the DCC. While I'm sad that some kids are not doing as well, their not doing well does not impact my kids' college paths. [/quote]
Ok, I understand now, this is about insecure parents who use test scores to justify how much they paid for their Bethesda house and secure parents who claim that test scores don't matter because their kids get a good education anyway.[/quote]

Yes, I think that's right. I'm not sure why if you were at a W school you'd come on bash about DCC, schools that you have no experience with. Your justification for that, is "but test scores!" I'm not sure a secure person would need to do this.
