[quote=Anonymous] One of the huge problems with NCLB and standards based outcome education is that the focus is on a certain bar (what people call the "standards"). Those way under the bar and those way over the bar lose out. The teacher is forced to try to maximize the number of students getting to the bar because the tests are high stakes. Anybody way under or way over is placed in second priority status. If too many are way under, you get the drill and kill, teaching testing strategies, and ultimately cheating in some schools. We need to start teaching kids where they are and moving them ahead. Timetables with associated tests are not useful (especially in K-6). [/quote]
