[quote=Anonymous]Here is the crazy thing about all the testing. Testing has a useful purpose. It allows you to figure out how well kids are absorbing relevant information. Are your current teaching techniques working etc. Not testing is like not figuring out your sales numbers if you are in retail until the end of the year. But teachers weirdly enough have such an aversion to being self-evaluated that they don't want to see it as a method of analysis and reflection. In all fairness this is also hard because of how of how NCLB and Rhee and company have used data as punishment rather than reflection on practice. Really it is not like most of us did not have significant number of exams. I remember weekly spelling tests from 2nd grade on up and weekly math quizzes 3rd grade on up. Frankly high school and college is full of high stakes tests such as the finals and AP's. But I think making rallies is stupid because it makes it scary rather than routine. [/quote]
