Can't speak for the rest of the world, but my 8th grade daughter threatened to throw her iReady math test because she's tired of being tested when the tests don't affect her grades. My kids are over tested to the point that from their perspective the schools care more about testing than learning.
- trhway 2y ago>the tests don't affect her grades Then what the grades are given for/based on?

- jdminhbg 2y agoThis seems unfairly downvoted as a sincere question. The answer is that the types of standardized tests that these country-wide statistics are based on are not, in the US at least, the tests that generate your grades or your university admission.
- rahimnathwani 2y agoIIRC iready is a formative assessment tool, i.e. the purpose is to diagnose where each student is at, so the teacher knows what to teach next. There are also summative tests that are meant to measure performance in aggregate, but aren't used for student grades.

- adamredwoods 2y agoMy child does not like the IReady UI, and feels it is detrimental to test taking.
- softwreoutthere 2y agoMaybe the school could stess the importance of performance on outcomes for their future as a group (like remediation in future lesson plans and so on)
