Classrooms aren't homogeneous. My regular english class would have a different mix of students than yours. I might beome incentivised to expel or transfer out my 'dumb troublemakers'. For that matter, I myself could have 3 regular english classes that could vary considerably on a composite comparison. I could have substantial variations from one year to the next based on ethnic mixes. My area is being inundated with illegals to work the poultry business and construction. Our schools are struggling with it. Above all, I would be incentivised to teach the test. I might decide the composite score would be higher if I focused on the smartest kids and raised their scores and let the weaker kids fall to their own level or vice versa. As an ex-teacher, my preference would be to throw some serious money at reducing class sizes and giving merit pay to teachers willing to work in sub-standard, inner-city type schools.....combat pay we'll call it. On top of that maybe some small types of incentive pay that all teachers could compete for each year if there was alot of extra money floating around...LOL.
