[quote=Anonymous][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]

Testing has been around forever, but it is now high stakes.  It has been used by the feds to force schools to offer choice and to force them to pay for tutoring among other things.

Now that classroom teachers have all that broad quantifiable knowledge, how does this help them?  They can compare their classroom to others with the same demographic profiles I suppose and then they can see that they are at about the same level.  I suppose they can see where to try to get a new job if they think they will be fired due to their low socioeconomic demographics making them look bad.  That is helpful (although I think most of them already know where to apply).  [/quote]
