This is a followup to the Grading the Public Schools thread from last year.
Last time, the discussion was based on Honolulu Magazine's survey of students', teachers', and parents' attitudes and opinions about their schools. At the time, I grumbled that this wasn't necessarily an accurate indicator of actual performance.
Well, this time we're talking about standardized testing, and guess what: 66% of Isle schools miss No Child goals. Now, this data provides solid answers. But... are we asking the right questions?
