BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sam Radford expected to pay for college when he sent a daughter off to Morgan State and a son to Norfolk State University. What bothered him was paying for remedial courses to get them up to speed with where they should have been after high school.

I applaud the article that points out that many schools with privileged populations and admirable student achievement do not necessarily have principals who are effective. I've done much studying on the concept of "value added measures" and certainly the demographics and student populations a school serves plays a large role in student achievement. Regardless of the individual differences, how much is the principal contributing to the overall achievement that is yielded? Would it be better or worse with someone else at the helm?

By Michelle Davis Education Week October 17, 2012 As many states move to put in place online testing by the 2014-15 school year, at least 20 have indicated they plan to use new computer-adaptive versions of the tests.
