Testing not Teaching

As a country we are going to spend more time testing than teaching. This is sort of a sad state of affairs.

Even in my job after a lengthy interview with my boss, it became clear that the diagnostic skills of the speech therapists are going to be used more than their teaching skills.

My afternoon classes will be taught be someone else, and I will be evaluating for the rest of the year in the afternoon. It is important that each student, in the caseload be requalified for their services.

And so it goes. Why should we expect to be much different than the rest of the world of education.

so does that mean we are going the way of psychologists who test, qualify, but do not offer services?
