Re: [Phys-l] What's the point of teaching to the test whenit's questions are incorrect?



Can't speak for the others, but all testing has done is limit what I
teach. I teach to the test and most other teachers that I know do too.
There are a lot of topics I used the teach (magnetism for example),
but since it's not covered on the test, it went away. My students pass
the parts of the test I'm responsible for and I guess that validates
what I do; still I feel they are missing out.
