Description

Let's face it. Testing has been part of the educational landscape our entire lives. Testing has been used to determine our fate in K-12 education and the types of doors, if any, open to us in college, graduate school, and professional school. As an elementary-school-aged student in the late fifties and early sixties, I took some type of standardized test every year. I especially remember how my fourth-grade teacher handled our test results. She invited our parents into our classroom to discuss our standardized test results. She arranged the room so that we sat between our parents in a circle as she explained the purpose of each section of the test and what our scores meant. While I was too young to really understand the implications of our test results, I do not think anyone was really blamed or congratulated for our scores. We all knew who tested well and who did not, who was a fast learner and who was not. We knew that these tests determined our fate with grouping and classroom assignments. Although we did not know much about colleges at that age, we could have predicted fairly accurately who would have gone to the best colleges and who would not go at all because of academic abilities that did not seem to change over time.
