Don't even get me started on my rant against standardized tests!!! I ten to start frothing at the mouth. In the state where I live the last two months of the school year are given over to testing. What a crock! Some of the tests are computer based. Many of the students I work with come from low income families. They don't have access to a computer at home so they are at a disadvantage when testing.
A friend of mine who retired from teaching made the best comment I've ever heard about the tests - We are supposed to teach children individually - target the material to their learning style. Then we give them all the same test!"
Am starting to froth, time to quit.....
