[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, and I have no problem with it. I do have a problem with people who are reactionary, twist the meaning of your words , are defensive and start every reply with "Oh, so you think XXXX?". Because they demonstrate an inability to separate emotion from reason, and I can't respect that. [/quote]

Has it occurred to you that people who disagree have valid reasons.  You seem to think the standards can stand alone.  They can't . In theory, perhaps, they don't require testing.  However, in practice, they do.[/quote]

Sure.  She may have some valid reasons.  That does not entitle her to twist words or attribute meanings that were neither stated nor implied.  It's not the way rational adults have a discussion, and suggests she has lost all objectivity.  And frankly, it irritates the crap out of me to have people put words in my mouth that way.

Also, testing has been around for decades.  So testing alone is not the issue....it's how the teats are being used to drive curriculum and teacher evaluations.  Which is a political choice and again, not the fault of the standards.[/quote]
