[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and it seems like we test as much as we teach. It is excessive but some of it has its value. Testing that can give teachers instant results are actually useful and worthy of the time. Testing that takes months to score is a waste of time and effort IMO. I'm an ESOL teacher and we test our students in January/February each year. We usually get the results in mid May just in time for the end of the school year! By the time school begins in Aug/Sept, those test scores are no longer accurate. We spend a few weeks administering our tests. We do not teach during those weeks. So our students miss out on weeks of instruction for us to get our results at the end of the year. [/quote]
