#ecn152 Competition = good. Everybody wins

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@alloakland1 #ecn152 I agree that it's not perfect, but I think it was handled poorly because most students really don't think much of it

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@kamaroli00 #ecn152 I think we slightly mentioned it at least once

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 I definetly agree that the STAR testing is a poor evaluation of student performance and yeah I think the SATs might be a better alt

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@jralpert_ucd #ecn152 definitely agree, it's way more difficult to evaluate student skill sets

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

Definitely signaling at least for me #ecn152

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@dizzy13t #ecn152 I think my biggest thing against the concept is that students are testing to succeed at passing rather than learning

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 I feel that teaching to test really doesn't benefit the student academically

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@golzarrassouli #ecn152 If that's the case do you think there could be better alternatives to vouchers?

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 I think religious schools provides a better impact on discipline, but also plays an impact on values as well

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 Voucher programs benefit low income students the most because it gives them the ability or at least the chance to attend private

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 Not really surprised about the demographics, but I do agree that academics plays a huge role in choosing

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@dariosheikh #ecn152 I agree and I've also seen some students who've switched to public tend to find it easier than private

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@kevinlum152 #ecn152 Possibly, but I would also consider afterschool programs or even classes that specialize in those fields

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@manongnico @echeung3 I think he means the best at student outcome

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

@adultswim YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 I definitely move to different areas to go to a school, three times in fact

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 My parents definitely considered the schools when choosing a place to live even if it house was outside our price range

[Richard Nguyen @rdnguyen1]

#ecn152 Benefits of private schools are they receive better education and have better quality teachers. Cons are just how much it cost
