[quote=Anonymous]I want my kids to be surrounded by as smart and engaged kids as possible. Presumably that will motivate them to learn more. I don't know how to measure that, but test scores might be a good measure although they can be manipulated or irrelevant. It seems a reality that student motivation seems correlated with SES and certain other characteristics (Asian emphasis on academics, intact families, etc.) In addition, tracking tends to group kids by ability and likely improves performance. I think teaching performance is probably fairly uniform throughout Arlington. There are some good and some bad teachers everywhere.[/quote]
