If we require kids to perform well on a test, then we better teach them how to do so.

It infuriates me when kids are expected to perform well and educators state "we don't teach to the test".
I agree that teaching should be more than teaching to the test, however, teaching to do well on the test needs to be included. Otherwise, we are teaching about oranges, testing about apples, and then complaining that we got oranges.
