excellent schools

I curse the person who invented disaggregated data.

Today we define excellent schools as ones that suck the least.

An improving school is one that can limit the drop off in performance in students as they get older the most.

A good teacher is one who can get their kids' parents to do the most teaching.

If the education system was a corporation, it would be Enron.

If the education reform was a soft drink, it would be New Coke.
