[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not PP, but it could very well be that a straight-A kid from a poor ward is smarter and harder-working than a straight-A kid from a rich ward but simply doesn’t have the resources for test-prep tutoring. Also, this is just a guess, but I have a feeling that, as a general matter, parents in rich wards are far more likely to pester teachers to increase their mediocre kids’ grades than are parents in other wards.

Let me be clear.  No one is test prepping for PARCC OK.  PARCC is a basic test that assess what you should know at your grade level.  That is the only utility. [/quote]

Hmmm my charter test preps for PARCC. Always has. [/quote]

Of course the schools prep for it.  Some poorly performing elementary schools do too much test prep and teach to the test..  In fact, I would bet the poorly performing schools spend a large portion of their time test prepping for it because the stakes are high to close the achievement gap while the better performing schools don’t do as much, if any test prep.

I’m talking about families privately test prepping for it.  Tell me if you know of any families hiring tutors to test prep for PARCC.  Really.[/quote]
