[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]2. Testing. However, the requirement for testing comes from the No Child Left Behind Act, which predates the Common Core standards. If the Common Core standards went away tomorrow, there would still be a testing requirement. [/quote] Yes, we have to get rid of the testing requirement. NOW. [/quote] The stress coming out of the testing requirement isn't the cause of the problems, it's a symptom. Some schools struggle with the testing requirement because those schools are fundamentally flawed. They have poor administration and management, poor choices of curriculum and textbooks, and generally are not good at implementation. Getting rid of the testing requirement does not suddenly fix those schools, it only sweeps the problems under the rug. All you would be doing is hiding the problem and pretending it doesn't exist.
