[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way back when I was a kid, these tests were supposed to measure what you know. So if you study hard, do your homework, and understand what you are learning in school, you don’t have to “prep” for the test.

Now, it seems the tests don’t measure what you know; they measure if you know how to take the test.

As a parent, I will totally make sure my kids know their math facts, read widely and have a large vocabulary, etc., but I draw the line at coaching a 10-year-old on test-taking strategies. [/quote]

This thread becomes more and more ridiculous. Now you need to discredit the whole suite of tests to maintain that your kids are superior. Can you suggest a better measure of academic knowledge? Maybe it can replace PISA to show the real ability of American students. [/quote]
Research has proven that standardized tests are inaccurate and biased in terms of measuring intelligence, as well as in measuring academic knowledge. You cannot compare kids an inner city or a poor rural area with wealthy suburban kids, yet they receive the same standardized tests. I don’t know of a better way to test academic knowledge, but these tests are kind of a joke.[/quote]
