[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]But I do think the only way to improve scores is to improve your pool of teachers. [/quote] I disagree. There are a number of ways to improve scores. You can improve the student body. You can cheat. It's been documented that we've seen some of that. Even improving facilities can help. Also, keeping the same pool of teachers but providing better support can improve scores. [/quote] You can have smaller class size, a better curriculum, more involved parents encouraging their kids to do homework, more two-parent families, better nutrition and medical care, less neighborhood violence. It is indeed ludicrous to think the only way to improve scores is to improve teachers. Except maybe if you're in the business of recruiting teachers, as Henderson and Rhee were.[/quote]
