[quote=Anonymous]For those who keep saying their school does not teach to the tests, tests spell out specifically when things are taught, and for how long classes spend on lessons. Its focus decides what gets taught and what does not get taught. If kids don't "get it" during the alloted time things keep on moving forward to get ready for the next tests. Writing for example is taught only in the form that is asked for on the tests. If my job depended on it, I would too. This creates a non-organic structure to school and learning. All schools that have high stakes tests teach to the test, whether they say so or not. I don't mind teacher-made tests, or dibels by teachers to know what needs to be taught next and to whom, but to say any teacher teaching in public any school does not teach to the test is simply untrue.
