[quote=Anonymous]I will be a dissent here. I've taught for almost 20 years in upper elementary. I think the testing and data is extremely helpful because I can target what my kids actually don't know and focus on firming up those concepts. I know so, so much more about where my kids are in terms of learning. I actually like the intermittent testing and found the I-Ready to be somewhat helpful so far. I also like having flexibility to use my own materials. I sometimes use textbooks, sometimes build my own stuff, and sometimes get funding to purchase things. It's more work and it's difficult but I like being able to choose what I teach based on my kids' learning gaps (since I have the data to support this decision).[/quote]
