[quote=Anonymous]Forgive my ignorance, we're still in pre-testing grades at our DCPS. I hear comments occasionally that certain DCPS schools only "look" good because they spend all of their time teaching to the test. But when you're talking basic reading and math (which is taught with a standard curriculum), aren't we just talking about teaching how to read and write, and do math according to the new methods, regardless of whether that's for the purpose of test taking or just for general learning purposes? If you're doing practice test questions for math, isn't that just math practice anyways? I think I'm missing something and I'm not sure what. If my future third grader learns 3rd grade math and ELA standards by the end of the year, why does it matter if they do that by practicing for a test? Please help me understand.[/quote]
