At Brooklyn Comprehensive, we tried exceedingly hard to "meet the standards" set by the Dept of Education. We worked hard to make sure our students did well on State exams. We did so because we wanted to, and also to continue to comply with the Dept of Education.
Maybe we shouldn't have.
I'm not suggesting we should given our students less. But, would our school be open if we had been very easy, maybe more people would've come.
We could never have done this, but perhaps had we been able to, we could have saved ourselves, since ultimately volume seems to have been the name of the game.
