“Given the great gush of numbers that the dipsticks of our school testing and accountability systems are spewing out _ STAR, API, AYP, CAHSEE, CELDT, APR, NAEP _ there’s bound to be confusion and misreadings. But sometimes the misreadings are egregious enough they require correction.

The most recent is in the scores on the 2006 STAR, California’s standardized testing program. A lot of people _ the bilingual lobby in particular _ are interpreting them as yet more evidence of an intractable gap between kids who come from homes where English is not the primary language and the state average.”
