[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smart kids have no problems with the tests and enjoy them[/quote] :roll: I loved taking the old CAT test and got high scores every time so that must have made me smart. But then I ended up becoming a public school teacher and according to DCUM, that means I'm a dumb as a can of paint. Plenty of "smart" kids in my W feeder MS struggled to understand what the tests were asking of them and had test-related stress for days before each round last spring. Others seemed to breeze through, but were resentful at what they perceived as a waste of their time --particularly during the second round which came just weeks after the first. As a parent, I "opted out" DC by selecting an excellent private school. No high stakes standardized testing until HS. Lots of authentic assessments. Happy child with measurable progress. [/quote]
