[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here we go round and round and round. poor test scores = failing schools failing schools = bad teachers, or poverty, or whatever Isn't it time to start evaluating schools based on the quality of educational benefits that are offered rather than student test scores?[/quote] Not sure what your point is. You can evaluate the schools however you like. Educational outcomes will be poor as long as there's severely concentrated poverty in DCPS. The "quality of educational benefits" is orthogonal to the question of school quality in DC. At least until we manage to get the DCPS poverty rate down to something like 20%. That's going to happen as gentrification continues apace; then we can talk about optimizing the system.[/quote]
