Does anyone have a link to the thread about the teacher who was

penalized because his students did so well on their assessment tests that there was not enough room left for them to improve the required number of percentage points on the next test. I remember that the top students would have had to earn more points than the test included in order to meet the benchmark. I also remember that the lowest scores in his class were in the 91%-93% range.

Thanks for looking!

2. No, the one I mean involved a male teacher. The problem was that the benchmark for Adequate Yearly

Progress (AYP) required a certain percentage of improvement, but his top students had scores so close to perfect that there were not enough percentage points left for them to show "improvement." To satisfy the mandated degree of improvement, they would have had to earn more points than there were on the test. (It was something like needing to earn 428 points on a test with a maximum of 423 points possible.)

On Edit: That one is equally horrble, though in a somewhat different way.
