Thank you ged, someone here reasonable...yes, unless overrated regan over a very extended course of time in the future bash AH skull into the concrete metaphorically speaking, in athletics, education, band, cheerleading, dance/drill team, UIL academic meets, etc, year-in and year-out, then they can be considered "better"...AH has the established culture, history, and tradition and is continuing it which is why you should know I think is better..

You missed the point of my argument. My point is that Reagan grew rapidly for a reason. As most San Antonians should know, one of the major reasons why parents moved up there was for the school and they even got upset when a cap was put in place and when the student body had to be split with Johnson. My point was not that Alamo Heights is not growing; I know there is no room for growth. My point was not a negative reflection on AH, it was only a positive reflection on Reagan's reputation.

however, it is within this piece of philosophical BS quote that was written, that at times such as this circumstance that you yourself write about in the above quote that test scores in this context don't necessarily mean ****, and just to be nice for instances such as your SAT experiences also; test score matters count very much in professional tests very much and also counts for something to a certain extent for the purposes of college entry, whether or not you may think it's an inaccurate exam, in the big picture scheme, deal with it...for that I should have clarified for you. but of course let's just say despotically for everything that "it doesn't matter"

The longer this goes on, the less sense you make. I know it's hard to avoid typos when you're using a cell phone if that's the case. If you try proofreading your posts, maybe I can better understand you.

By the way, my SAT scores were over 100 points above average, so they were good enough to get me into a decent college; not the colleges of my choice, but good enough.

You are still avoiding my questions, so this argument is pointless. You can't give me any definitive reason(s) why AH is the best high school in town or better than Reagan. You've never worked at AH and you haven't even given anecdotal evidence from someone you know. You have absolutely no idea that if you worked at AH, you would find faults that would go against its reputation like you are claiming happened at Reagan.

Did you say you were a teacher or were you just staff?

I'm not avoiding attention, it's just that your writing is so poor. I didn't want to automatically put the blame on you. It's hard to take someone seriously when they're talking about education while writing poorly.

Does AH have same type administrators, maybe, maybe not...I just see regan metaphorically as the little brother trying to out-do big brother(AH and it's historical reputation), trying to measure up, trying to prove something...maybe you don't see it this way...same way as in DFW area some good competitive nearby schools want to try and be like the Planos, Highland Parks, SL Carrolls, etc...you can disagree with this if you feel, but this is my opinion...so fine, I can yield to you that I have a grudge against regan, but for good cause...cheers.

Sorry, I missed this post.

no , but so what, are you going to file a lawsuit against me that I'm not giving you exactly what you want to hear? Did I say AH was the best in town especially, or is this just some sort of consolation for you since I stuck it to you in content (whether it was about SAT tests, judging schools through many factors, deciding that where things are supposedly serious is not always absolute), pretty much every other way....

Does everything have to be your way? but fine, if I have first hand accounts of what would happen to me at AH youll be the first to know it.

I'm not trying to criticize your SAT scores, but just saying probably not reflective of what you can really do...but it doesn't mean that the SAT is garbage or meaningless , or inaccurate for other takers..I felt very strongly that it had me in the std. deviation category that's just about right on for me, though if I retook the test shortly therafter, the next scores could definitely be lower...which could be a flaw of the test, maybe or maybe not...which is why I posted my thoughts on having a "perfect exam" many posts ago...

When the SAT scores are only accurate for 1/4 of the test takers (which has been proven), it is meaningless. That's not even accurate; that's just chance.

I'll let you think you stuck it to me. LOL.

not necessary, anyone who comes across this thing will see the evidence anyway so no need for you to lay down but thanks though...yeah and you can keep interacting with others that have actual accounts of the schools, which shows me practically nothing

[L210]

What? Isn't your account just an account? I don't even know what you prefer. Do you prefer accounts or actual evidence? Are you complaining about both?
