[quote=Anonymous]New to the public school system but not at all keen on SOLs or other government-mandated testing. Unfortunately the test prep is focused less on kids truly learning and mastering material and more on their ability to spit back the most basic information into bubble sheets. Schools' funding is tied to results, often teachers' performance is evaluated against these results. They aren't really designed to determine if a child is ready to move forward to the next grade, that's not their purpose. Curriculum should be designed to challenge our students to prepare them for the 21st Century. Instead, curriculum is designed to make sure students know which little bubbles to fill in correctly.[/quote]
