Wise words from our very own, Supt. Miller.
“Can we seek consensus on the notion that a standardized test is a terrible way to measure the “proficiency” of a human being, because humans are not standardized? Likewise, can we agree a school report card based almost exclusively on how students perform on a once-a-year test is wholly imprecise and delusory?”
