The rest of it varies from state to state, but looking on the state Common Core educational sites they ALL have plans for baseline testing in the classroom at the beginning of the year and thoughout the year to see what the kids learning.

This is teaching to the test to the extreme.[/quote]

The horror!!!

Wait...

So for kids in, say, grade 4... there will FIRST be a test to see how much they know in English/Language Arts (Reading and Writing) and then there will be a mid-year test of Reading and Writing, and finally an end of year test in Reading/Writing?

RIGHT NOW in my kid's school (in MD) the kids are testing in reading at the beginning, middle and end of the year!!

OMG... this will be exactly the same as the horror we are living through RIGHT NOW....

except it hasn't been that awful.

It's NOTHING like when I was a kid, I tell you.   Do you know that we had tests Every Single Damn Week?

Vocabulary.
Spelling.
Sentence dictation.
Times Tables.
Chapter Tests.
Unit Tests.
SRA Tests.
Writing to a Prompt.

It was a neverending testing horror, I tell you.  Even worse... they tested us in Science and (gasp) History, too!
