Garbage, I said they were cheating and provided you proof. They flat out changed students grades. We aren’t talking about grade inflation. API scores have nothing to do with whether they changed students grades.
Did you miss this part? This could explain the API scores.
“Nearly three years ago, an academic study compared Preuss students with students who had applied for admittance there, but missed out in the school lottery. Based on test scores and grades, the study found no difference between the groups.”
Your willingness to make excuses for their dishonesty doesn’t say much for you.
You asked for proof and I gave it. Yet you are making allegations with no proof whatsoever. Would I tell you that public teachers are not being pressured to teach to the test? Hell no. And I certainly wouldn’t claim there isn’t any corruption in the district. I can tell you I haven’t experienced it and I have 3 children who have been through the SDUSD. Not one of my children has received a grade they didn’t earn.
If private schools dealt with the same kinds of issues, students and regulations you might have a point but they don’t. So what you are doing is comparing apples to oranges so to speak. Private schools are not subject to many as many state and federal regulations as public schools. Curriculum in public schools is mandated by the state. With private schools you have apply and be accepted. Also most private schools don’t have special education. Their teachers don’t have to be certified and they pay them a whole lot less. I could go on (and on)but I think I’ve made my point. I would think that private schools could get by on a whole lot less money than $8k.
