Indigo I think I this case the teacher was claiming this was a test revising the previous years work and berated the children for not having learned enough the previous year. Which is a different kettle of fish to doin as you state in order to identify children who already know what is coming.
Exactly. I was told today that she made the mistake because she had put the test together in a rush. My counterpoint was that six weeks into the year is way too late to claim that you didn't realize the kids hadn't yet learned most of the stuff on the test.
In any event, rushed test-writing or not, she shouldn't have written it if she didn't know what the kids had been taught already.
Again, thanks for all the kind words. I'll write a new update in a few weeks.
