Benchmarks @ the Sun blog

Real good stuff at the Baltimore Sun Inside Ed Blog right now, about that subject so near and dear to me - benchmarks.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: these things hurt the kids, at least the way we do them.

Maybe this new thing with more autonomy to the principals and the schools will help that sort of stuff from sliming its way in from North Avenue.

Between the benchmark tests,the practice tests, and then the state tests, there is little time left to teach.
