[quote=Anonymous]This may not be bad if teachers are given more time to on helping students improve rather than just measuring.

When DD was 2 she had a speech delay. We tried the county's infants and toddlers program. Friends encouraged us to also get private intervention because the county had a bad reputation. Wow, were they correct! The county speech therapists ONLY assessed and measured DD while the private therapist worked with DD. The difference was striking, The county therapist would show up very late, spend most of her time every week having me fill out assessments and then would test DD. When I shared with the county therapist what was working with DD her response was that it didn't matter what worked the county recommend the following materials. DD hated this therapist because she was rude and not kid friendly . When DD an away from her,the county therapist would then lecture me that we must not have been doing enough of the county directed activities with DD. It was beyond stupid.

MCPS also has this problem where they focus more in teaching new teachers to collect data for the county which is never shared with parents and does nothing to help the students. All this data creates a ridiculous number of data collection and analysis positions and departments within the central office. [/quote]
