[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like there is an over reliance on the teacher’s observations, which is so subjective.  Why bother with the tests if they don’t count for anything?[/quote]

Agree, especially when a child’s teacher assignment is random. Some teachers seem to put a lot more effort into tracking a child’s particular noteworthy moments throughout the year. [/quote]

[b]With all the ridiculous test prepping that goes on, it’s no wonder they are relying more and more on teacher observations. It’s the test results that have become unreliable.[/b] [/quote]

THIS.[/quote]

Test prepping can only bump up the score so much.  So many of the kids being rejected are well above the cutoff.  No reasonable person can conclude that this child who would otherwise get a 100 on the test got a 140 through prep.

The problem with relying on teachers is that they’ll have their own bias.  How likely are they to choose a bright kid who is outgoing and participates in class  consistently, over a bright kid who is shy and afraid to speak up?[/quote]
