I am concerned that above average students are probably bored, resentful & lazy. Certainly, with the wealth of different paper, automated computer & video technologies available today, we can develop universally available teaching resources that detect each child's ability in EACH subject helping 2 encourage & inspire them to improve their abilities in each subject separately no matter what level at which they may be currently performing, while leaving teachers time to address individual needs.

I graduated high school with a few folks who could not read. (But they were very good in athletics!) So, I can see real value in standardized testing but it should be used as a feedback mechanism for the teachers rather than being used punitively. Explain the tests to the teachers, then base their $ bonuses on how well their classes do on the tests, & they might be creative enough to find or create better teaching resources for the students. Deficiency motivation is usually counterproductive!

As someone pursuing a teaching degree all I can say is a standardized test proves pretty much nothing. I also speak as someone who took all kinds of standardized tests throughout school and I can tell you they don't give any indication of a students real ability.

No Child Left Behind is flawed because it assumes that all children have the same capabilities.

I hate standardized testing I never learned anything from those stupid ISTEP tests when I was in school. It was about 2 weeks worth of wasted time imo.
