[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, the tests are not designed to characterize your child's strengths and weaknesses. They are designed to demonstrate whether or not the children in that grade in that school, as a group, are meeting the grade-level standards -- because that's the purpose of the tests, according to the federal law that requires them.[/quote] But the schools have now received waivers from the federal law's consequences. So what do these tests really mean to individual students and parents? What is the federal government going to do with the information gleaned? Just publish it and move on? How does that help either the schools, the students, the parents, or their teachers? [/quote]
