[quote=Anonymous][quote] I am asking because we are at a school full of affluent white kids and they seem to be achieving only around 50-60% proficiency, which just seems odd[/quote]

In a sane world, this would not seem odd. This would just seem like Larla I needs some advanced instruction, and Larla 2 needs some help catching up. In a sane world, their affluence, and whiteness would not be an issue.

But we live in this one. This one sometimes makes me beat my head against the wall. The tests are fucked up. They weren't even created by educators. Some schools do a lot of prep. Some do not. But when you're basically just writing off kids for being poor and not doing well on the tests.... I just can't.

My child went from a heavy duty test prep eotp dcps. (Not that hard, given that information to guess which one)--to a fluffy charter this year. Thank god. We also went from being one of the 70% high SES in the class to being about the only high SES in the class. Here's a newsflash: the kids, they did not get dumber. They did not get less vital, or interesting, or important. [/quote]
