Any person who went to high school in the 80s remembers the consequences of testing. When February ended so did your education. All of a sudden, you were supposed to go to the store and buy a Barron's Regents Review Book for every one of your courses - and THAT became the text. So the curriculum then became to practice old regents exams in the Regents Review book and then go over what you did wrong so that you'd do better on the test once you took it - months later. Test prep is not teaching and that's what'll inevitably happen when tests come to dominate education. Unfortunately, to think this is happening to kids when they turn 8 is ridiculous. Government intrusion on education is a great reason to homeschool!
