Dave,
I found this to be the seminal statement that I could relate to testing in
education, and possibly the best argument against NCLB the way it is set up
now. (The bold text is my addition.) What do you think?
And targets drive waste into the system. What does doing 10 per cent
better next year mean if your current way of doing things is hopelessly wrong?
You have to change the system, not burden the existing (and faulty) one with
more targets. Instead of learning how to do your job differently, and better,
people simply adapt their current behaviour to meet their new target.
