[quote=Anonymous]If you want your child to be assessed using multiple choice tests, and to sit at desks in rows, then Burgundy is not the place for your family. However, multiple-choice tests are a very poor yardstick of student achievement. As it has been said "they do not measure the ability to write, to use math, to make meaning from text when reading, to understand scientific methods or reasoning, or to grasp social science concepts. Nor do these tests adequately measure thinking skills or assess what people can do on real-world tasks."[/quote]
