it’s just not a good model! and i don’t know what a good way to measure benchmarks and help children would be but i know it can’t be giving fourth graders stress dreams about grades

Ya absolutely using it as graduation benchmark silly and school wide testing not necessary. To extent you need work product it could be more like NAEP (which ppl like!) w random sample, which would be easier to do when you’re not trying to judge individual kid or teachers for results

they don’t make the private schools kids take them and they appear to be able to read; what are they doing?
