[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Taxpayers are throwing away a lot of money on testing. Have we closed the achievement gap? No, why are schools throwing a lot of $ into testing? Wouldn't $ be better spent on reducing class size, enrichment learning, field trips, more books for the libraries, more IAs in classes?[/quote] +1000 As we become more pinched for money in this country, we cannot afford this nonsense. We know we have achievement gaps . . . this is not some news flash for educators. We need to move students forward as individuals in meaningful ways. The tests are not helping us to do that. [/quote] These testing companies have lobbied for this. They're enjoying dipping into the till. It's so hard to stop it once it stops. People making a buck will always trump what is best for kid's education. [/quote]
