But his issue here seems to be one of transparency and accuracy of data used by the system to rank schools. I think you and I might question the very premise and purpose of such school rankings. But here in Chicago, the lack of transparency and even systemic rigging of numbers and misuse of test scores has become a major issue.

But they are a real indicator of inequality which is why CPS is tampering with them.

Even if we could be completely confident that test scores are accurate and untampered with (which, of course, we could never be, considering Campbell's Law), does anyone really want to claim that test scores are any kind of real indication of school quality?Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.com
