Addition to Previous Post on Testing
While skimming around NY Times online, I came across an article about testing procedures used to determine if a child is "gifted". Ironically, these tests are offered in Spanish, Urdu, Haitian Creole, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Bengali and Korean! So, we will judge if a student is gifted in their native tongue, but not if it is a federally mandated exam that will determine their progression in school and affect the score the school receives under NCLB?!?
