What a Novel Idea. What a Novel Idea. Since starting school, and raising two children, now my grandchild, I've yet to see a set of objectives about course material students cover during any period. Then try providing the parents with course requirements so parents can follow the child's progress. I would love to know what is expected of the child, and every parent should expect that from the school system.
Every teacher has a curriculum which they use to chart a student's path.
Another test is not needed. However the public must be aware that the teachers who are in the classrooms do not come up with these new testing ideas. These things are forced on the classroom teacher without very much warning and with less explanation of the reasons for the implementation. Also, other tests are slowly phased out. Students are frustrated.
