[quote=Anonymous][quote]One thing is for sure, the standards would not be a positive help in the behavior management situation. Many students who come from "unconventional" homes need to learn appropriate ways to gain attention (unfortunately many have not had much attention given to them before they arrive).[/quote]

The teachers in many schools are required to meet and hash out the standards and talk about the testing.  There is not time to talk about some really important issues like behavior management anymore.  In some schools this is disastrous.  I wonder if the teacher in the WAPO knew that this boy's father had died.  Did anyone talk to him about each student individually?  There are things that are important to discuss and know and understand.

There are some (actually MANY) things that the standardized testing cannot capture.  For some students a successful year would be one where they learned appropriate social skills. If you don't have those, you're not going to get a job of any kind anywhere. [/quote]
