[quote=Anonymous]And you think a test that the majority of children fail is a good metric to show anything? You probably also think it's a clever and efficient idea to have essay questions scored not by a child's classroom teacher, but by an army of Temps making 12/ hour.

And how is the wool not being pulled over my eyes when I'm not getting my child's test results until December? Is it going to be useful for me to k ow that nine months ago she had difficulties with algebraic concepts when she was eight?

I call bullshit on the entire enterpise. Elementary education is really not very complicated. Generations have learned to add and subtract and read (and even history, literature and civics--charmingly outmoded concepts for you--I'm sure) without this bullshit.

However, reinventing the wheel every five years is very profitable for wheel companies, and wheel designers. That is all this is. If it were actually about assessing the kids we'd get assessments that actually helped assess the kids.[/quote]
