[quote=Anonymous][quote]The people who keep crying about "high stakes" only seem to care or complain when it comes to teachers being affected, which indicates to me [b]they didn't give a shit about the high stakes involved where it came to students being affected. Ultimately what we should be caring about is whether students are reaching a level of proficiency or if we are failing them.[/quote][/b] These tests measure family and socio-economic inputs way, way more than any teacher inputs. You assume that "we are failing them" and that is what these tests are showing. The tests are not good at measuring whether teachers are teaching. Of course there are complaints about being measured by something that is not designed to measure what people want to use it to measure. Plenty of people complained about NCLB (they called it "No Teacher Left"). I would say that there has been a major deterioration in education since the implementation of NCLB. [/quote]
