[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They now take some kind of math and reading inventory 3x a year right?  And you can see the questions they missed right?  (Please correct me if I’m wrong but think this is right.)

Why is this information not enough for you.  This is a lot more objective than what your individual teacher decided to test on or how they decided to test.  There is huge variation on how teachers test and grade which is normal and you will see as they go through middle and high school.  [/quote]
The inventories don't match up to the subject that have been taught so you don't know if a student missed a problem because it hasn't been taught yet or because they didn't understand the material.  It takes a lot of sleuthing to get specific data from them.

Unit tests should match up to the grade level standards.  They show if a student understands the material that was actually taught.  So if the unit test was on fractions and the student did poorly, then you know you should work on fractions at home.  Even if they are doing great on long division and decimals so their math inventory score is fine.[/quote]
