Gov. Malloy and school reformers demoralize good teachers talking about failing schools - Courant.com

Gov. Malloy and school reformers demoralize good teachers talking about failing schools - Courant.com: "When the reform conversation is driven by repeated references to "schools that fail our children" and employs simplistic caricatures of incompetent teachers, it demoralizes the spirit of the thousands of capable, dedicated teachers who work against all odds to support the academic, social and emotional growth of children.

To say that student achievement is directly correlated to socioeconomic status is not to say that poor children can't achieve. It is to assert that there are multiple factors involved in student achievement, many of which are beyond the control of the teacher and the school."
