Easy enough to explain: she set “quotas,” Scores had to go up of the underling lost his position.
You have to wonder how widespread the whole cheating thing is in other states as well. In our state this year, our 12th grade students scored over 90% on both the reading and the writing state tests. This is the fourth year in a row for such high scores. I have administered the middle school state reading tests for a number of years and I know the tests at those two levels are NOT easy. I can’t imagine that the 12th grade tests are either, but I could be wrong. My point is that I find it hard to believe that the scores could be this high year after year. Either the tests are too easy at the senior level, or the results are “manipulated.”
