[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, it was but some parents claim the kids tanked the PARC on purpose. I heard several other schools with low scores claim the same thing.

Correct. There was a really bad test year for Whitman, and the explanation from parents and real estate agents was that the kids "understood the futility of standardized tests and protested in the only way available to them."

Which, fine. But you'll notice none of that benefit of the doubt has ever been extended to schools with poor/working class populations, or schools that are global majority.

Even when failing tests, rich white children are extended the benefit of the doubt while poor/working class kids are assumed to be failing. [/quote]

Because they typically do test high where the other side doesn’t. The benefit of a doubt it extended to outliers not norms.

Let’s put it this way which school do you think will have the highest percentage of high success kids which is what testing is all about right? [/quote]
That's mostly due to money not necessarily about how smart they are  or how well they did on standardized tests.[/quote]
