[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious - if you are so opposed to testing why do you send your child to public schools?  Its not just about the couple days spent taking the test but the fact that the curriculum is designed around the test.  If you are so opposed to the test that you would consider not sending your child to school those days why would you send them at all.[/quote]

Are you paid to sit around and bully parents who are taking a stand against a pernicious trend in PUBLIC education? Or do you do it for fun?[/quote]The pernicious trend is the watering down of education, and the un-evenness of educational experience. Without testing, how will we know that  Child A can't do division, and isn't ready for preAlgebra?[/quote]

ask their teachers[/quote]It is simpler to look at the test. Few teachers will say "I haven't taught all the material in the text", even if there are really good reasons they didn't. You can look at the test and see that James isn't ready for 6th grade as he is reading at 2nd grade level[/quote]
