[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd rather an objective test was used to measure one's qualifications consistently than teachers opinions since their views vary and are often subjective. consistent criteria > subjective criteria applied inconsistently[/quote] The problem is that standardized tests become less useful to predict which kids need a different kind of education when some of the the kids have been prepped to the teeth before the testing day. So teacher observations of how the student acts in class on a daily basis become an important part of the application process because they help to give a fuller picture of the student. Tests that take place on one or a few days plus reports of daily classroom behavior tell us more about a child's learning needs than only one or the other. [/quote]
