It was with supreme dismay I returned to stumble over a riff between two local gurus of education. No references shall be given. All readers here have adequate resources to discover of whom I speak.
Point is: if Stalin and Churchill could work together to defeat a common enemy during the Second World War, one should expect petty misconceptions easily put aside considering the greater cause at hand.

Kavips' good catch and good idea to stop the infighting. Yes, the common enemy is the ridiculous and heinously damaging unilateral performance measure based on testing.
I don't think I could have been more proud when witnessing the Stubbs school teachers give testimony to CSD board at an early meeting in the Priority School process. The issues there are nearly identical to the issues at Gateway and I have to think that the problem can only be resolved by all stakeholders pushing for equity in funding. Not just for at risk low income populations but of at risk special needs too. If only our district schools - including charters - had proper access to funds to fit the needs of the children and classrooms they serve. It is unconscionable - and a common interest position - that our elected officials have put Delaware in a position where the federal government is driving state policy to shackle our education system to these test score performance measures.
It is CLEAR that this system is throwing EVERYTHING under the bus to score political points in federal and corporate arenas (if there is even a difference).
