NLA Discussion: the National Reporting System

[resctr2 at ix.netcom.com]

The NRS is the right church, wrong pew. It is based on a system (full time
teachers, real classrooms, prep time) and tests which do not exist (ESOL
in particular) in our discipline. It does not recognize our strengths and
exaggerates and exacerbates our weaknesses. It too often feels not like
an accounatability system, but like a birddog our flaws.
 
Perhaps that, in the end-or the beginning, is its strength.
