Bullshit re: adjusting the rankings for poverty. We DO NOT need poor kids ranked only against poor kids. They’ll be competing against all kids. A lower ranking might be explained by a lower income community*, but we need to see performance relative to the rest of our future labor force.
* this might be a fair, generalized indicator of parental involvement and early childhood development which I’ve come to believe are probably two of the three most important determinants of educational success
I knew I’d regret declining Superintendent Carstarphen’s invitation to serve on the AISD strategic planning committee. Just no capacity this fall. Extraordinarily important stuff
