[quote=Anonymous]That's the problem with tying growth directly to proficiency. Accurately measuring growth requires a much more difficult achievement test (to push the upper bound way out). This would then lead to vastly lower superficial scores and create outrage and pearl clutching even though nothing would have changed. Proficiency on the other hand is a straight forward base all should achieve. It has limited value (since we hopefully have higher goals) but what value it does have is pure and unadulterated. Unfortunately, imo, a focus on growth to proficiency inevitably promotes mediocrity. Growth is a better hypothetical metric, but, the necessary horse trading of a broader system distorts its value.
