[quote=Anonymous]The author's argument in that blog is awful. Yes, all standardized assessments have their limitations, which is why a *good* teacher will not just look at the test results as the sole measure of a student's abilities, but rather will use it as a tool to help identify weaknesses. The time it would take for a teacher to assess every single student individually to get that same data would be exponentially greater than the time spent taking the test, meaning the teacher would have less time to actually teach. I am so over this fantasy world where we pretend teachers have endless time and resources to give every child a one-on-one experience tailored exactly to their needs and skill sets. Also note that the blog is a marketing tool for the teacher's own book on math instruction, so she has a bit of an interest in criticizing current systems.[/quote]
