[quote=Anonymous]The whole argument is pointless. What is your definition of failing? If it's strictly based on test scores, then the only way to stop school failure is to cure poverty. That's a bit beyond what schools can do. If your definition of failing is that DCPS provides sub-par educational opportunities then I would have to agree that we are failing. And we're failing because the only thing that counts is test scores. We're not introducing great (or even good) literature, we're not teaching world history (until 7th grade), we're not teaching enough science, and we're not teaching grammar or handwriting.[/quote]
