[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is, many of the facts about a school that make it "good" or "bad" are not reflected in test scores.[/quote]

No, that's really what makes the "school" good or bad. It all boils down to grades and achievement. Everything else is detail.[/quote]

Yes, teaching is irrelevant. Attitudes toward school and learning are also irrelevant. Also irrelevant is anything that doesn't involve grades, test scores, or awards. Grades and "achievement" are the only things that matter.

(I don't actually believe this.)[/quote]

Erm, no, that is not what I meant at all. In order for the grades and achievement to be good, you will automatically need to have excellent teachers and a strong curriculum, conscientious students and involved parents.

How else do you think these schools get the good results?

What is superfluous, is teenage pregnancy, anorexia and various other PERSONAL issues which are actually none of your fucking business.[/quote]
