[quote=Anonymous]You do realize standardized testing is not a measure of progress or intelligence and is based in racism right? The most successful countries do not even use standardized testing and if they do children are taught how to take these tests. I went to school in Japan and testing there is very high stakes, you can't even get into any good HS without a test. However they teach you how to take tests from K AND studying/learning. Part of test taking is HOW to take it, which the US doesn't explicitly teach. And how could we focus on that when so many kids can't even read? Your middle and upper SES kids might be ok, because mommy or daddy has time to help or a tutor but that's not the same for all kids or kids whose disabilities make it really difficult. And no they can't be except because St Coletta takes most of the exemptions. [/quote]
