Hello Esther. I know many of the teachers at that school personally and know they are excellent teachers, but to keep things in perspective you should take a look at this http://articles.courant.com/2013-08-15/news/hc-cheating-tests-betances-hartford-0816-20130815_1_mastery-test-connecticut-mastery-betances-early-reading-lab Ed

The test scores were mentioned in the broadcast.  Could it really be true?  I hope not, but you know how human nature can be.

The State puts a lot of undue pressure to improve scores. The school is being investigated because of the very unsually rapid increase in scores. The scores more than doubled in one years time. I hope there were no irregularities. Linda and her crew are very hard workers.Ed
