[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools are focusing so hard on teaching to the test? My children’s schools do well as schools and my children do well individually. I am not aware of excessive or even special time being set aside for test prep. They teach the curriculum which includes math and reading comprehension. The worst that happens is the testing week. [/quote] The ones where students don’t do well — and at some high schools students have to be admonished to make an effort, and actually write the essays etc. The ‘break’ from testing in 9th and then reintroducing it in 10th, combined with being ~15, makes it a tough sell.
