Are you saying that NCLB can't raise student scores through its mechanisms?<BR/><BR/>Where do teachers come in? Are they always unable to raise student scores? Or only some student scores? At what point do teachers decide which students' scores can't be raised?<BR/><BR/>As for NAEP and S&P, the report that pinpoints states where scores exceeded statistical expectations--to what do you attriibute that? Did it have anything to do with teachers and their work?<BR/><BR/>I think you are thrashing about at enemies, and you've started to make yourself and your educational colleagues look less able than they are. Think harder about your line of argument....Jenny D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00387495194556407445noreply@blogger.com
