[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3094711, member: 3448"] That is a complex issue that would require a separate discussion forum and can include many different studies and theories. For the sake of keeping it short, teachers can and should be able to accurately measure and track their student's progress. Those who interact with the student can measure things that often are not demonstrated on an exam. Administrators can and should monitor, evaluate, motivate, guide, and evaluate what teachers are doing. I've encountered these people as well, but are there more of them now than in the past? Or has our expectation changed to one that perceives that an assembly line education model will produce children that will perform alike? There are so many social and cultural factors in play that parents and teachers have a difficult time overcoming. Keep in mind that children spend years with their parent(s) before ever encountering their first classroom teacher. Then during the school years parents still are in control of their children many more hours per day than teachers are. Both are battling social media and technology while a single parent is trying to provide, or both parents working leaving children often unsupervised. Or at the least children are rarely exposed to the modeling that an adult should provide. Much of the culture inside a school is determined by the culture outside the school. Again, education reform is a topic that I wish I knew all the answers to, but I do know this from experience, testing as a [B]primary[/B] measurement of students, teachers, and schools is not a fair or accurate indicator.
