[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Sounds like your school is a disaster. But getting rid of testing won't make it any less of a disaster, it will just hide the fact that you're a disaster, and that's a problem.[/quote]

And nobody knew there was a problem before all the testing????  Riiiiiighht.  It was all hidden.  Yep.

The big question is:  Now that we know what we already knew before, what are we going to do about it besides having more testing?  Oh, yes, we are going to have standards that are tested.  Even though standards were not proven to be the problem.  Even though we know that the biggest problems are not standards.  Even though we know that testing does not improve education.  Waste of money.  [/quote]

Testing has been around for longer than you have, so I really don't think you have any basis whatsoever for making any claims.  Classroom teachers know on one level that there were problems on an individualized, non-quantified level but without testing they did not actually know holistically how, on a quantifiable level, their entire classroom was doing, as compared to other classrooms in their district, versus across the state, versus other states, which is an entirely different thing that was not knowable by classroom teachers without standardized testing.[/quote]
