[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a high-achieving kid, you shouldn't have any fear of the test. But if you pull your high-achieving student out of testing for some stupid ideological reason or because you believe all the hooey about things like it being "stressful" for a kid to have to select the correct answer on a computer as opposed to filling in the oval with a #2 pencil, then [b]you are throwing teachers and schools under the bus.[/b] But, more likely, you want to pull your kid out of testing because you don't think he will do well - which is a denial problem.[/quote] No, the system has thrown them under the bus and parents who blindly go along with this testing are perpetuating a system that does no good for students or teachers. Where are the teachers saying they value the tests, the time it takes to prepare for them and the time it takes from other classroom activities? As for the denial problem -- talk abut hooey![/quote]
