I see and hear a lot of comments about standardized testing that I agree with; for example, this statement of Ingersoll about the impact of standardized testing. He maintains it has created . . . ” a culture of increased accountability – good in theory, more questionable in practice – has made the classroom an ever-less appealing place to work. With a steady focus on testing, teachers have less discretion and less autonomy in their classrooms, and that leads many to find work elsewhere.”

Enter – Larry – with a focus on how to make the best of this situation (the reality) rather than focus on the downside. Thanks for that “take” on the situation . . . it provides teachers with something positive to focus on during a stressful period.
