[quote=Anonymous]I am concerned that we are replacing nuanced, evaluative time with the teacher with computer testing. Is that what is happening? Because that is what they do in math now, and as far as I can tell, DC’s teacher has little idea how the kids are really doing in math. She doesn’t know who can get the questions right super fast v.s. who can get them right pretty fast v.s. who can’t get them right at all. She only knows the final score on the math apps they do: who got them right super fast v.s. all the others. And now the whole stressed-out class is fixated on math facts instead of math knowledge in general. It’s awful. Don’t teachers want this one-on-one evaluation of student abilities? I don’t really care about the reading levels, and I think some of the kids (and parents) get too hung up on it, but it is upsetting to think that there will be this much less incentive for teachers to attempt rigorous individual evaluation.[/quote]
