[quote=Anonymous]I think schools are pressured to ‘cheat’ standardized tests (and rankings) by having kids memorizing sight words “reading” at the expense of long term kids education. It also hides kids with disabilities instead of giving them actual prolonged decoding instruction. I wish we could get away from all or nothing grade level progression so that kids can continue to learn material at their own pace without the stigma of ‘being held back.’ Then perhaps schools would focus more on overall knowledge enrichment instead of teaching to tests.
