Exactly the Point

You have hit the nail on the head. Instead of looking to what we know about how children learn or how our particular group is functioning, we must look to the test writers to direct our curriculum. I just don't trust strangers to do that. I don't care if they have a PhD in Assessment. They don't know my classroom, or my students. They don't even know my school! My students are mostly ESL, below poverty level kids that have no life experience. Yet they are taking the same tests as the kids up the hill who are the children of doctors and lawyers. It's crazy.
