[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In-class testing, quizes and such do have a use.

Standardized testing is of very limited value.

Teacher that my children have had haven't had an aversion to be evaluated. They seem to have a problem with being evaluated with the Rhee/Kamras pilot program called IMPACT. Can't say that I blame them.

I have no problem with exams and quizes. My child who attends private school has plenty of them. Funny, but the teachers at this school are able to assess children without giving a single standardized test all year long. My child who attends public school apparently needs to spend endless hours prepping for the DC-CAS.

I have a pretty good idea which child is getting the better education. I also have a handle on who is looking forward to school in the morning.

(And before I get shot down for sticking one in public and one in private, the older child is in a private middles school. Child #2 will attend this school as soon as they are of age.)[/quote]
