I would think some red flags have gone up. The whole 100% proficient or advanced usually ends around 3rd/4th grade.<br /><br />The highest I have gotten is in the high 60's. Now granted I don't have 8th graders (high schoolers), but that does raise some questions...like the ones you brought up.<br /><br />Now a funny side story. At my wife's work, some new teacher came in and within two years had the highest scores in the school and district (a lower income district). The principal was like "why don't all of you go see what she is doing right and be more like her". Now I am sure how that would rub the veteran teachers. Anyway, it turns out that she was cheating. There were high amounts of erasure marks on the tests and it turns out she was just going over the answers with them. <br /><br />So she was fired and lost her credential...worth it? nope.Mr. Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282059797251178491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-38711123352764038482009-08-21T23:03:52.063-07:002009-08-21T23:03:52.063-07:00"...some interesting questions"
