"The pressure to raise test scores has become so strong that testing often degrades instruction rather than improving it. Many parents have encountered this — large amounts of teaching time lost to test prep that is boring, or worse."
--Bari Walsh, When Testing Takes Over, Harvard Graduate School of Education
There is so much wrong with high stakes testing, the institutions and people who create them, and the administration that applies them.
No worries, more math coming tomorrow.
