[quote=Anonymous][quote] ^ The problem in the past with little accountability was that teachers/educators were "passing" kids that were illiterate. Kids were graduating HS with only being able to read/write at a grade school level, if even that. Without the accountability, it is difficult to root out such teachers/educators. It's not just some teachers that were doing this, but Principals were also allowing it. So, how would you stop this from happening without some kind of standardized testing? Sure, it's fine to not necessarily tie a teacher's pay to the testing, but we do need *some* kind of standardized testing to measure how well a kid is doing over the years. [/quote] We've had testing that measured performance in pretty much all schools long before NCLB. It is when schools began to be identified as failures that the testing monster took over. [/quote]
