[quote=Anonymous]I find the tenor of this article and the comments fairly disingenuous. There is no such thing as high stakes testing for a 3, 4 or 5 year old with a competent teacher. Kids that young just don't give a damn - unless a teacher tries to pressure them. And, of course assessments exist that give a pretty good indication of where kids are developmentally starting at birth. The question for me is how you transform those into a paper and pencil test, and also how you interpret results. Some kids are early readers, some are not. By and large this evens out, so I'm not sure what useful conclusions could be drawn from these tests. That to me is the bigger question.[/quote]
