re: #606 Atlas Fails
My high school failed its state tests two years in a row (inadequate yearly progress), so the response was to marginalize every subject that wasn’t tested and take away almost all teacher discretion and “teach to the test” in subjects that were. Guess what: we passed that year. But it was probably the year I learned the least.
You needed the option of a better school. And it was not there. The argument the anti voucher folks do not have a good answer for. We need to stop wish-casting better public school results.
