Sad education policy Hick. Did you bother to ask any teachers what is important to them?

CSAP.......teach to the test.....waste huge amounts of time and money on tests that are truly meaningless. With generations of my family being teachers, as well as my wife, it is sure interesting to find what 99% of teachers and administrators think of standardized testing. I'll give you a hint: They are not big fans.

What does CSAP measure? Nothing. It's a waste of money.

it measures how well you can teach to a test. total crap, I agree, a waste of money.

do wish the democratic standardbearer would grow a pair and stand up for more money for education tho. if he won't do it, who will?
