[quote=Anonymous][quote]While people can argue whether SATs measure intelligence, Banneker and SWW's DC CAS scores are fantastic but their ratings nationally suck[b] so we know DC CAS is irrelevant[/b]. [/quote] Hmmm. Interesting. I didn't know that. And I'm not being facetious. They're just one datapoint in assessing school quality in our family, but reading in this forum leads one to believe that the CAS scores are everything to most DC parents. Are you saying they're irrelevant in assessing a school's ability to prep kids for college, or something else? I'm more interested in opinions about testing than the scores. I think scores don't tell us enough and the obsession with them is more detrimental than anything else. In NYC, families across every demographic are protesting the testing: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/30/nyregion/standing-up-to-testing.html?ref=nyregion [/quote]
