[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be easier, and would help your student greatly, is to pressure your superintendent to cut down on the amount of pre-SOL standardized testing, such as eCarts (FCPS)  and IA testing (APS) that goes on all year.  This testing, done so that the superintendents can check up on principals and teachers constantly, cuts class instructional time considerably and creates additional stress for the students.

Yes. Bingo. [/quote]

Another vote for this. I've never seen any place that throws away so much time prepping for standardized tests as the state of VA. We took Iowa tests and other standardized achievement tests when I was a kid a 40 years ago, growing up in other states, in a variety of school systems. We never were taught the tests until I moved to VA at the end of high school. And it's gotten much worse over the years.

Oh for crying out loud. That poster was referencing a GWB quote from 2000: "Rarely is the question asked, Is our children learning?"[/quote]
