[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]When I was growing up, teachers kept their exams and answer keys under lock and key. You didn't see the exam until the day it was given.[b] And if an upperclassman [/b]were to try and share the test he took the year prior, that was heavily frowned upon. They were always treated as proprietary information with consequences if they were improperly shared so that others could get an unfair advantage. This really isn't that much different from how tests have been handled for decades.[/quote]

Well, thankfully, times have changed since you grew up.

If a test has to be kept under lock and key, there's something wrong with the standards and curriculum.  A teacher who is teaching the same thing to different students every year is not a good teacher.  Using the same test year after year means that the  teacher is not adjusting or changing as new information and ways of assessing are entering the field.

Your post sounds like you are talking about college in any case.

The most important tests that students take are not the PARCC (despite all the hoopla).  The most important tests are ones that follow teaching that is at the student's level.  Those are the tests that measure true learning that is meaningful to the individual child.  [/quote]

Oh?  Everything has changed and so much new information has entered and there are new ways of assessing?

So how much did Geometry change between this year and last year?

How much did English grammar change between this year and last year?
