[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM: Too much testing is awful! DCUM: Why doesn't Larla have finals? How will she learn to take tests? [/quote] Midterms and finals test what is taught in that class. MCAP tests general reading comprehension instead of actual taught content. It just shows us what we already know. Students who test well tend to have very good decoding skills AND good background knowledge about a wide variety of topics. As a teacher, I care about what students know about what has been taught to them. Most students in our school don't take MCAP seriously at all. They finish in 20 minutes and take a nap. [/quote] What about APs?[/quote]
