The Principal's Office is on vacation this week and next. However, I recently read an article in The New Yorker entitled - Wrong Answer (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/07/21/wrong-answer) - that is well worth a read. This case study of a middle school in Atlanta, Georgia demonstrates how the federal government, state government, local school districts, superintendents, principals and teachers grapple with test scores. And it clearly demonstrates what happens when you tie test results to salaries and employment.
I'll be back in two weeks.
