[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t even say what test they are using. Kindergarteners really only test on DIEBLS and iReady if your school uses it.

The trouble with standardized testing is you have to KNOW how to take the test. In K we practice HOW the test works beforehand. Due to this model that became impossible. There isn’t a very accurate way to measure young children through DL, in terms of standardized testing.

So take this with a grain of salt, they don’t have accurate data. Especially when parents try and give answers and little do some know we had to mark ANY answers they gave or signaled as INCORRECT. I saw a drop in my students score just because of this.[/quote]

Can you not see how ridiculous an argument you’re making?

We already knew online school produced poor results, even on a college level. Only the most extreme wishful thinking could make you believe kindergarteners are learning well right now. [/quote]

+1. If you can’t even test kids accurately via DL, why would you think DL is working? Seriously think about all the specific obstacles to administering a DIBELS test you just pointed out, then tell me with a straight face there are no similar obstacles basically invalidating all of your teaching. Saying that DL doesn’t work for the under 10 set isn’t an indictment of teachers. Teachers trying to claim it does work or it’s good enough very much is.[/quote]
