[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP.  It is totally different in the small towns.  Where I grew up there was no standardization at all.  My teacher could give really easy tests and the guy across the hall could be really challenging.  The women next to him might write very confusing questions.  There are some perks to that too like less worry about kids getting the test ahead of time.[/quote]

But yet MCPS kids fail their final exams.  So what is the point?  I think teachers should test to what THEY teach.   Much better policy than having finals.  Watching the scores plummet thru the years.  Not offer any answers to parents and instead just get rid of exams all together.

And the teachers know the test.  Some can teach just to the test, others can tip toe around it a little more vague while teaching other things more interesting.  Having the same test but different teachers means the same as what you are saying above.  Different outcomes.   Not giving tests back is lazy and absolutely does not help with communication at home.

Remember when the Maryland PTA mom lashed out about doing more at home to help the failing final exams.  How can we if we don't see any tests?  It is so ass-backwards.  [/quote]

How is not giving back tests "lazy"?

Are teachers too tired after grading for four or five hours a night to bring them back to school?

Are teachers too exhausted from filing out 272s with two work samples that they can't rise from their desks to hand the tests to students?

You know the issue isn't lazy.

The issue is cheap. As in no one wants to spend the money to write new tests each year for every unit of every course.[/quote]
