Recently Oklahoma EducationTruths, a great blog on Oklahoma education news, wrote about Oklahoma Legislators not listening to public education officials. I find this to be very true of a lot, not all, of the legislators I hear from. I hope with the release of the study on A-F that it can change.
If u didn't hear the Oklahoma State School Board Association and CCOSA the state school administrative organization asked for a study of the A-F report cards. The study was done by Research departments from OU and OSU. Well come to find out all the things that the school administrators and parent groups that spoke before the State School Board were true!! This report card is not valid, reliable, or a good tool for judging schools. They even went so far as to say it wasn't "meaningless". As it turns out the real truth is school administrators want accountability. They want to have it make sense and be reliable. Hopefully after this study Oklahoma Legislators will see that the experts in the field know what they are talking about on school issues. Hopefully they will start to listen to these experts and not people whose goals are to follow non experts who only care about privatization and profits.
