[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see the lobbyists are out in full force.

Here's an idea: take a real statistics course and then get some integrity. Just because you quote numbers doesn't make them meaningful.[/quote]The

Do you have any analytical data at all to back up your vague assertions about self selection and so-called motivated parents? Or offer a better statistical analysis? The data sets are public. Knock yourself out. [/quote]

The data sets are insufficient to prove one way or the other.  I think both sides can STFU - neither has a well formed study to say what is or isn't a factor.

Instead there's a lot of mud slinging based on misused data.  It would do well for anyone to be humble about their school - it's not that easy to be statistically better / worse.

In fact, there isn't even a single definition of what makes a school good.

Unless your definition of better / worse is simply based on the number of high SES students, in which case... knock yourself out.  That's easy data to come by.[/quote]
