[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] And in your analogy of the baker, we should have more SOL tests for diversity of learning, not less. No. You should give the baker a list of things he should be able to bake and let him figure it out. The teachers know how to teach. We don't need to have high stakes testing. [/quote] Exactly. The idea of having more tests is ridiculous. You will only get the prescribed cakes even with more tests. Meanwhile, a great teacher has an idea for a lemon strawberry cake, but that cake is not on the list. That could be a very popular and interesting cake, but it will not be baked. Ever. [/quote] The tests are for minimal competency. I don't really care if a lemon strawberry cake is made if the baker doesn't know how long to cook a cake for. If they are for minimal competency, isn't there still plenty of time for a lemon strawberry cake once a week?[/quote]
