teachers didn't think higher pay would result in higher qualified teacher while they hv more passion to work w/ well behaved student.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

But it seems unfair that adjusting salary comparisons to public school teachers’ shorter workday and year by using hourly comparison.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

al state tests focus heavily on skills, it's not true teachers w/ larger gains on such tests are simply coaching students for tests.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

We want to know how much a teacher contributes to student growth during the time students are in that teacher's classroom. #ecn152

I agree that the edu system has numerous inefficiencies, many of them caused by government subsidies and regulation. #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

For example, it could do so by improving the students’ reasoning ability, writing ability, or organizational skills. #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

successful completion of courses probably improve ppl’s qualification even if specific knowledge they learn has limited mrkt value. #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

signaling model could be true bt through invisible hand mechanism-schools competing to separate quality in the most effective ways.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

NCLB failed to significantly increase average academic performance and significantly narrow achievement gaps.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

NCLB has severely damaged educational quality and equity, with its narrowing and limiting effects falling most severely on the poor.#ecn152

Parents of academically talented children hv been accused of pushing children to achieve at exceptional levels n sooner than usual.＃ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

Academic reputation plays a big role when considering private vs public schools. School systems vary greatly in academic reputation.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

But perceived advantages melted away when researchers took into account variables like race, gender, parents’ education and income.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

The private schools appeared to have an achievement advantage when the raw scores of students were considered alone. #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

@DiZZy13T ya, Some charter schools also receive outside funding. #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

Charter schools receive public funding keeps them from being “private,” but they are not true public schools either. #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

Will Catholic schools probably disappear unless we can find a viable economic model that is sustainable over time ? #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

lay Catholic school faculty are knowledgeable about some aspects of the Catholic faith, but they are less well-informed about others.#ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

the colleges w/ little endowment tend to hv relatively thin n tuition-sensitive applicant pool, hv already become largely privatized #ecn152

[wenqi_zhao(Wendy) @_wendy77_]

The politically or ideologically contested press for greater privatization is mainly a public sector issue. #ecn152
