Every public school student in the U.S. will experience various
types of testing each year. For decades, the purpose and quality of
such testing, the time it takes to administer and take the test and
how the data is used are the topic of discussion among students,
parents, educators and policymakers. Those supporting the
importance of testing assume that more assessment improves student
achievement and that the pros of testing outweigh their
'perceptions' of the additional costs. Those against excessive
testing, believe that schools are sacrificing learning time in
order to test or prepare for the test. They also believe that
reduced learning time of non -tested subjects occurs and more time
is given to those students that are performing right below the
proficiency score or "bubble kids" instead of developing every
student's full potential. Testing in U.S. public schools is out of
control. The stress and pressures for all involved have effects
that are not even measureable in most instances. Is this really the
best thing for our schools? Are there alternative measures that may
serve our future in a better way? Will the rewrite of NCLB be
enough?
