The thing is ...
The best have already risen to the top. We already have a top 10 who seem to do relatively well. So why, on earth, are we not simply copying them ???
The Minnesotas, the New Jerseys, the Massachesettses, even the Wisconsins... why don't we just take one of these models and install it everywhere? Are kids in California, Washington and Nebraska really all that different from the kids in the old Union states ???
- moheeb 13y agoI'd like to see a comparison of # of days of sunshine per year vs. test scores. Or perhaps average monthly temperature vs. test scores. I'm thinking not having anything better to do in the winter might have an effect on scores.
- zarify 13y agoNot sure why the downvotes there. I teach in South-West Western Australia so our winters are cold and wet and the summers are quite dry and hot and it's quite interesting to see the effect the weather and climate has on students (it certainly has an effect on emotional and behavioural characteristics). It'd be interesting to see how comparative students do in different climates. Some quick looking about only found an article on worker productivity, which isn't really the same thing: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6975.html http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6975.html
