Testing should be aligned to the state-mandated standards and should simply measure how well students have mastered those. What goes on in the classroom should also be aligned to the state-mandated standards.

Too many people make it seem as if the "high stakes" tests have no connection to what each state says should be taught. Either a student masters the state-mandated standards or he doesn't: I don't see the reasoning behind all this griping and complaining about the tests. They're just a tool; they're not the end-all and be-all of educational achievement.
Dana A I think you hit the nail on the head! The high stakes tests are just a tool.
