In concluding my initial impressions of the 2006 Community Survey project, which was presented at last night’s RUSD study session, I will leave you with an interesting bullet point that was included in the PowerPoint presentation:
“Although student achievement was not considered to be a major problem in 2000, close to one-half of survey respondents perceived it as a major problem in 2006.”
My question to you is this – why such a dramatic change in public perception? Is the general public simply paying more attention to academic achievement, or do the members of the community believe that our children are worse off academically than they were 6 years ago?
