[quote=Anonymous]why wouldn't a parent want their child to take the regular test of whatever grade/school they attend? The results are not broadcast, and even if they may not be that accurate it is good practice for the kids who will eventually have to handle taking tests, and it will also provide insight into your child's strengths and weaknesses -- though maybe flawed. Two kids now in HS -- and each doing very well, public and private experience: the results always accurately reflected their strengths and weaknesses, and in an unconcerned fashion their dad and I have been able to accentuate their strengths as they grew older, nudging them to their areas of confidence. Not based on one freaking test, but just having them participate over the years, and considering trends in the results. If you don't want testing to be part of the education, you cannot be a public school parent, you make your kid feel weird and other parents will be bored by your anti-testing obsession. [/quote]
