“Frankly, rich kids get paid for high grades all the time and for high test scores by their parents,” Ms. Haycock added. “So this isn’t so different.”

Nope, no different at all -- not for libs whose goal it is to indoctrinate the class warfare mentality in their future permanent underclass.

I missed the class warfare angle while thinking about AP scores.

Middle class kids don't get "paid" "all the time" . . . maybe some rich kids do, but I doubt it. Some parents do try to bribe kids to achieve, but if the kid's not motivated, throwing money at the problem won't fix it -- whether he's rich OR poor.

Said the educrat, “In a written statement, the city Education Department said that officials were still evaluating the results but that “the success of an innovative program like Reach, which insists that every student can succeed, has never been more imperative.””

What the educrat really means is that “innovative programs” are essential to the continuance of present public funding of the failure mode public school system which supports the educrat.

Such educrats would starve if they had to depend on a private school to offer them a job. Only a public school system and the teacher’s union make possible the continuation of jobs for failed teachers.
