[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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.[/quote]

So what do you do after you know the problem exists?  I mean, [b]what do the feds do (because they are the ones who require this testing)[/b]?

What is the end goal for how to use the tests to improve (because if it's just pointing out problems, well, you just spent a lot of money pointing out problems that were already apparent through other tests and other analysis).  [/quote]

What can the feds do?

I don't agree that the problems were already apparent through other tests and other analysis. I agree that the big question is what to do with the results of the testing, once you have the results. But we definitely know more about the schools due to NCLB than we used to know.[/quote]
