Elfrank-Dana: Advance will fail because of its hopeless departure from sound construction

John Elfrank-Dana is chapter leader of Murry Bergtraum HS, a school squarely in the target zone of the Bloomberg/Tweed mantra of  "Let's do what it takes to make the school fail so we can close it and give the building to Eva Moskowitz."

John, who created the short film, Advance - sent this to his principal:

The faculty votes DEFAULT (growth).

We know it's no fault of your own, but this choice between the lesser of evils has been a needlessly convoluted process. This pseudo choice, between Pepsi or Coke, attempts, but fails, to create the illusion of freedom, of empowerment. Advance will fail because of its hopeless departure from sound construction and its underlying faulty premise; that test scores can measure true student achievement and quality teaching.

Speaking for the faculty,
