The Myths of Standardized Tests: Why They Don't Tell You What You Think They Do

by Phillip Harris, Joan Harris, Bruce M. Smith

Book Overview

Much of the common knowledge about standardized tests is simply wrong, and these misunderstandings have led to the distortion of the education of children and the judgments made about them. The Myths of Standardized Tests debunks these assumptions, proposing better ways to judge the success of our schools and offering readers suggestions for ways they can help reduce the burden of tests on their children.
