Three and Four – Devon

Between past classes and the given readings I can see many problems with the school system involving who holds power, how to measure performance, distribute funds and the like. After all this thought and discussion I am still left with no single answer. In terms of school power and being centralized with large schools or smaller with more personal relations, I would definitely chose smaller because I have experienced this (growing up in a HS with ~400 people total. The issues involving Measurement though such as standardized testing, I simply cannot come up with a feasible better option. After thinking the issues over I would like to know if anyone from the class could. There must be a better way to at least classify and define student who “fail” these tests, rather than give up on them due to their Limited English Proficiency or the like. These practices limit children and cause a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy effect. Also, even if children were not aware of their classifications the board and teachers are which could potentially be way more influential in their futures. I wanted to ask the class of they had any suggestions regarding these topics for the country and myself to think about.
