[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not use a national test like the Iowa Test or similiar? I grew up in Baltimore County and we took it every year starting in 3rd grade or so. My son takes it in Catholic school. The school uses the scores to allocate resources. I like seeing how my kid compares to others nationally.[/quote] +1 But MCPS will not do this. [/quote] Unfortunately, if systems pull out, they are "punished." [quote]Eleven states and Washington D.C. were awarded grants through the Race to the Top program. New York State received $700 million. If standardized testing wasn’t a part of teacher evaluation, New York would not have gotten that money.[/quote] http://schoolsofthought.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/17/the-high-stakes-of-standardized-tests/ The High Stakes of Standardized Tests [/quote] Race to the Top was an Obama administration program.
