[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] they are certainly part of the solution. [/quote] No. They are part of the problem. It's making it worse and causing schools/administrators/teachers/parents to game the system. [/quote] Yes tests and standards create incentives which can lead to unproductive programs. But my parents were teachers, and I know a lot of administrators at the district office, and let me tell you local control is worthless. It's fine if you are in a rich county like MCPS where you have educated parents holding the system to account. But the rampant nepotism, the coaches/principals that are rampant, the favoritism, and old boy network is rampant as part of local schools. I don't see anything close to that level of incompetence and corruption at the Fed level. I will say that nationalized Federal education might have better results. Aren't places like Finland much more centralized than ours?[/quote]
