I suggest people read this website article for info regarding the impact of the NCLB Act and VA SOL test scores--they have gone up exponentially since it's inception

You say that like those test scores mean anything. Have SAT scores gone up? Or have we just been teaching to the various state standardized tests? No need to answer, I already know.

Not only that, but the incidences of...what's the word. Please excuse me, I took some benadryl and I  can't think straight right now. I'm talking about...not forgery per se, but where the teachers manipulate the test taking conditions or actually change students answers to give them a better score.

I suggest not reading too much into state standardized tests.

VA is different than Texas cdude.  Don't get me wrong The Lone Star state is a great place but VA education standards are extremely strict as of late and it is showing because of it.

 

 

I'm not comparing anything to Texas, I'm saying standardized tests as a whole are pretty useless. I've seen more than just the TX standardized tests, and though I haven't seen any from VA, I can almost guarantee you no serious college would look at the VA test over the SAT's.
