Mr. Warlick,
Your post, “Are We Wasting Children?” makes some very interesting points. First off, the title really caught my attention, which made me want to read more. Your basic idea of schooling administrations using students with good grades and test scores to boost their appearance, meanwhile almost discluding students that are having a harder time, does make sense. I for one am not naïve enough to think that it is “all about the students” as most school-involved workers practically feed us. I really do believe that a majority of high ranked school officials aim their focus on students, but I have some skepticism. I am currently a freshman enrolled at Arapahoe High School and each of my fellow classmen is required to take two different forms of standardized testing, one is MAPs testing, the other being CSAP. Both forms of testing are used for either teacher or school/district purposes. Basically a progress report that we (the students) take for the gain of school employed workers. The idea of students being used for a better pay check is undoubtedly present.
