Rene Le Clair's Response:

My value-data score change after other teacher complaints that the data was incorrect based upon pool for teacher with 60 or less students it just goes to show you how other teacher's data can effect mine. Not only are scores based upon what my students are doing, but how other teacher's students are doing. Just goes to show you how there are lies, damn lies, and then statistics.
