  • "Murray addresses the high stakes game of achievement testing in public American education, especially the pressures brought to bear by the No Child Left Behind Act, wherein test-focused schools fail to teach and fail to assess important learning experiences, inconsistency in testing standards, increased student dropout rates, political peril for a school or a district, and how test success varies by students' socioeconomic status. He says that testing and authentic assessment are achievable, but he suggests different methods than punitive punishments if all learners fail to learn at the same rate or in the same environment."
