There's nothing wrong with them. The point is people are acting like the schools are better, when in reality they're just full of kids who can afford to pay for additional help. [b]These other schools, by corollary, aren't worse just because their test scores are lower.[/b] [/quote]

LOL. Truth isn’t true?

Schools don't have test scores. Students in schools have test scores. If the students in School A have higher test scores than the students in School B because the parents of the students in School A can afford to pay for additional tutoring, does that mean that School A is a better school? The teachers in School A are better, the administrators in School A are better, the facilities in School A are better...?[/quote]

Test scores are correlated with SES.  I'm a lawyer, DH is a professor, and our Einstein grads have done just fine.  We knew they would, because the deck has been stacked in their favor no matter where they went to school.[/quote]
