CNN Offers "Cheat Sheet" for Standard Tests

Hello, parents!

Whether you know this or not, whether you like it or not, standarized tests are one of the biggest obstacles that your children must tackle through in order to move on to the next step. Is it fair that the your kids accomplishment mean next to nada if he or she doesn't do well on the MEAP, the ITBS, the CRCT and/or TAKS? No way, but that how we do things around here in the U.S. of A. And it doesn't end with the students. As you may know, these tests also affect the reputation of America's schools, their staff, even the states in which they live (remember No Child Left Behind?).


But what's worse about all these test is that many of us (probably) don't even understand how the scores of these tests are calculated.

If it makes you feel better, CNN.com has an article that'll help explain the whole standerized test process.
