[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't matter. There are so many standards that require testing. Too much time spent in testing..[/quote] Back when I was growing up, in the 70's and 80's, I don't recall having one single standardized test. Back then, there were a lot more kids graduating school who could only read at an ES level, or not read at all. If all the schools had done a better job of making sure the kids met some basic standards, we probably wouldn't have so much standardized testing. Yes, I know, there are outside factors that affect a person's education (namely home life), but years of huge disparities in education has led to what we have now. In MCPS, I know of two tests: MSA (or PARCC now) tests and the MAP . They take the MAP tests 3 times a year, and the MSA once. So that's four in one year. I can understand why they take MAP 3x/year - to see the child's progression.[/quote]
