I'm no psychometrician but I believe Justin Snider is over simplifying "value added". School systems have been asked to keep longitudinal records of individual students. After three or four years those records establish anticipated growth over a given year. If the child exceeds that growth that year's teacher gets credit for good instruction.

Harold, far from being a ------- , was not ------- to take a person holding opposing political views into his household.
But every school is redeemable so long as it enjoys strong leadership, talented teachers, adequate funding, and enough hours in the day to make up for deficiencies in the home. And federal stimulus funds for education are available to those states willing to prove it. Boston Globe Editorial B IS CORECT!Right-o!
