[quote=Anonymous]I actually think frequent low stakes testing helps desensitize kids to testing/makes it less stressful. If we treat tests like they are just part of the learning process ("do this worksheet at your desk and then we'll correct it and hand it back"), I think young children, in particular, are unlikely to be stressed out by them. Truthfully, absent individual kids with anxiety, etc issues (i.e., those who get worked up by things in general and who I wouldn't send to Basis to begin with), I think the kids who get all worked up about tests are usually all worked up by their parents (and/or teachers) and the fact that they are getting all worked up.[/quote]
