Very simple...already in lil miss ccc's school they give one test at the start of each grade and one at the end

Posted by The Calico Cat Coalition (aka seandunham) Mar 10 '09, 13:27

THey test on the skills and subjects that will be covered that year. The point is to see how much they learned over the year...THAT is a great place to start...look at the materail that they should learn, and base the pay on that.

      - Yes it's a problem, the tests don't cover every subject a student needs to learn. - Krusty Mar 10, 13:36 2

        They do but when a teacher is told that it's basically all that matters there's a problem. - Krusty Mar 10, 13:43
      - There is a lot of debate on that...plus on the way they use the tests for rankings - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 10, 13:36
