Our students are difficult - we understand that. They are late to class; they leave early; or they don't come at all and show up the next day without a note to excuse them. Why, then, do we attempt to solve the problem of underachievement through unnecessary assessments? Is it really going to entice our students to show up more often and do more work if all we can guarantee them is more mindless bubble-filling? Real education comes from spending time working with students in meaningful ways on meaningful tasks. We know our students are behind - give us some more resources so we can do something about it. And leave the tests at 440.
