[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stats are not hard to understand. The growth score is each kid's score this year minus their score last year, and then compared to that same information for other same-grade kids in DC. The performance score is how kids at Sela did on the CAPE.[/quote]

But I have no idea, as a parent, what is causing the numbers to be bad. Which is what you've been asking whenever a parent says they had a good experience. And it's also a weird thing to be harping on on this thread, given that it's barely mentioned in the petition (or not at all mentioned, depending on how you read it) and they also put forth no explanations or solutions.

I think it's hard for parents to know why or what to do about it. Parents just don't have access to the data, nor do they have the expertise as educators, to pinpoint what the problem is. And if the problem is poor teaching by specific teachers, that's not going to be socially acceptable to say out loud. So I don't have the expectation that parents would do that even when they do publicly identify a problem.[/quote]
