Too Much Testing?

According to a study by Public Agenda, most teachers (90%) say that there’s too much testing going on in our schools.  Almost 60% of the 890 teachers taking part in the survey felt that testing in schools  was a “major drawback”. Both younger and older teachers agreed that test scores were not good predictors of student success and that linking teacher pay to student test results was not a good idea.
