That has got to be one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time! It goes right along with my high school English teacher's practice of giving me an F in "progress" because my pre-test and post-test were both 100%. [/quote]
Nautigal, your English teacher must have been related to mine! lol
Seriously, though, it is ridiculous and not just for the high achieving kids. I know my son is actually secure in all the skills, but what if he wasn't? This approach blocks our ability to differentiate between what kids already understand and what they should spend time working on. Which, I thought, was the point of assessments? Really pointless IMO.
