[quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you object to testing, or do you object to tests aligned with the Common Core standards because you object to the Common Core standards?[/quote] Personally, I think that holding to strict standards and testing them in kindergarten is an "iffy" proposition at best. I'm not against testing in general at various points in a child's education. Right now I think we are over testing, especially in the elementary grades. How much testing do we need? When does instruction and the fun part of school happen? Yes, learning should not be total drudgery for some and anxiety ridden terror for others with a test at the end (that is high stakes for either the school or the teacher). [/quote]
