Test Scores Quotes

Man, I wouldn’t know where to begin on education reform, but one thing we have to do is add teacher accountability WITHOUT stressing standardized test scores Picture Quote #1

The origins of these [schooling] federal policies were tied to President Johnson’s war on poverty. Supplemental funds were sent to school districts serving poor children to compensate for issues related to poverty. Since the enactment of NCLB, the focus on mitigating poverty has been replaced by a focus on accountability as measured by test scores Picture Quote #1

Increased physical activity during the school day can help children’s attention, classroom behavior, and achievement test scores. Meanwhile, the decline of play is closely linked to ADHD; behavioral problems; and stunted social, cognitive, and creative development Picture Quote #1

The widespread belief among politicians and pundits is that high test scores are everything. I strongly disagree. What matters most is character. Working hard, treating others with respect and honesty-those are the keys to success Picture Quote #1

What do teachers and curriculum directors mean by ‘value’ reading? A look at the practice of most schools suggests that when a school ‘values’ reading what it really means is that the school intensely focuses on raising state-mandated reading test scores- the kind of reading our students will rarely, if ever, do in adulthood Picture Quote #1

I am a product of affirmative action. I am the perfect affirmative action baby. I am Puerto Rican, born and raised in the south Bronx. My test scores were not comparable to my colleagues at Princeton and Yale. Not so far off so that I wasn’t able to succeed at those institutions Picture Quote #1

We don’t really care about test scores. We care about adult outcomes Picture Quote #1

Second, when comparing private school and public school test scores, it’s like apples and oranges. Public schools have to take everyone, but private schools can be selective. It’s not accurate or fair to compare the job they do Picture Quote #1

Test scores and measures of achievement tell you where a student is, but they don’t tell you where a student could end up Picture Quote #1

If there’s one thing that ‘No Child Left Behind’ has proven, it’s that more academics don’t make for smarter children - or even higher test scores. And yet we somehow refuse to accept this reality Picture Quote #1

With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. and that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects Picture Quote #1

The world is a bell curve. Classroom test scores, employee performance in a company or how many people really, really like you. No matter the population you’re studying, they always fit neatly across the standard deviations of the famous bell curve Picture Quote #1

Test scores aren’t perfect, but having a test score for math or reading or other things that we can objectively measure is a meaningful component that makes a lot of sense Picture Quote #1

You have to remember, we may be the only nation, the only one I know of, that uses test scores not to assess kids, but to assess teachers. I think we’re unique in doing that Picture Quote #1

When test scores go up, we should worry, because of how poor a measure they are of what matters, and what you typically sacrifice in a desperate effort to raise scores Picture Quote #1

If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve Picture Quote #1

Massachusetts children cannot only lead the nation in test scores, they can be competitive with the best in the world. And the gap in achievement among races can virtually disappear Picture Quote #1
