[quote=Anonymous][quote]Getting rid of testing won't magically make that money appear. Look, pp, you are trying WAY too hard to tie everything to testing and frankly a.) you are full of crap and b.) annoyingly obnoxious, obtuse and pedantic as hell. If someone's cat got stuck up a tree you would blame testing. If you ran out the door and forgot your keys, you would blame testing. That's sure how it seems anyways... one track mind with a serious obsession.[/quote]

Thanks.  That's a compliment. When I believe in something, I don't give up, especially if it's important.

And there is a poster on here who is obsessed with testing.  The poster keeps repeating that "nobody said the tests would do this or that or solve this or that."  "It's not the testing."

Then what ARE the tests good for?  If they are not a solution and they only identify problems (that we already know about), what's the point?

I'm sorry if you find me annoying, obtuse, obnoxious, etc., but I work with "failing" kids every day and I am going to advocate for them no matter how annoying and obnoxious I may seem.  This is my job.  It means a lot to me.

Calling me "full of crap" is a very good rhetorical device.  It's probably on the CC test for 8th grade.  When all else fails, attack the messenger.  [/quote]
