Standardized Tests: Assessing the Price of Failure

When leaving no child behind amounts to holding many children back, parents and politicians raise their eyebrows. This ABC News program seeks to understand the ramifications of high-stakes advancement and exit exams—tests that are being used to measure schools’ effectiveness, to allocate funding, and to shape the future of the nation’s children. The dilemma of how to cope with students displaced and emotionally stigmatized by failing these tests is discussed. The importance of keeping students in school until they master essential skills is also considered, as is perhaps the most troubling question of all: what about kids who simply do not test well? (21 minutes)
