Ah, the old standards. These are the same reasons schools were failing 50 years ago.

Actually it does, Colorado pays below average for teachers. If I paid below average for developers, I'd probably have bad developers.
- Zamicol 3y agoAs I said, that school is the among the lowest funded in the State of Colorado, yet it has frequently ranked in the top 10 in the State of Colorado. How is that explained?
- Ensorceled 3y agoYou said it yourself "Genius Principal"! What happens when they retire? Sure, occasionally you will get excellence despite a lack of resources but that's sheer luck. My high school was exceptional due to a confluence of factors leading to a great staff but it has faded in the past 40 years and is now only average in our province.
