Does anybody know what awaits Liz Armstrong in Vegas?
i'm guessing many veneral diseases in a row, each more ravaging than the last.
Call my cynical, but I'd say higher test scores coming from larger classes means more cheating, as monitoring all those rug rats would be much harder to do.
Model UN can get nasty. I blame Syria.
"But, bottom-scoring schools also had far more poverty -- in all but one case more than the CPS average of 85 percent low-income kids -- and researchers have long found that poverty creates a powerful drag on achievement. A Sun-Times analysis indicated CPS school poverty levels were six times more likely to predict third-grade reading scores than third-grade class size. . . Chicago's high-scoring schools prove larger classes -- at least for more-affluent kids -- can work."
this seems like a pretty silly study. so rich kids are still ok with big classes. yay! they'll always be fine, their parents can make up for it at home. the sun-times is spending 2 days talking about how perfectly financially-stable white kids are doing ok? this is news?
but i also like erik's theory.
