[QUOTE="pvaughn8, post: 1544473, member: 649955"] It wasn't rhetorical, thanks for answering. Of the reasons given, I see teacher experience as having a big impact on the kids learning. The other's seem to be "nice to have" imo. I don't think you need a robotics lab to prepare for college. The whole thing is very complicated obviously. I don't really buy that eliminated standardized testing is going to fix anything. People with low test scores can still go the community college route. If they are in that situation because of coming from a low-income household, then it would probably be the best for them in the long run anyway. That being said, if people really believe that eliminating the ACT will help people, go for it. I've got no skin in the game. The main reason I asked about the quality of urban/rural schools because I do live in a poorly rated school district and have an almost 1 year old boy. I like the neighborhood and I'm trying to plan what I'm going to do by the time he is old enough for school so this topic has been on my mind lately. [/QUOTE]
