Beyond the Tests

Do you think schools are spending too much time and energy on state tests—at the expense of more creative endeavors?
This is a complaint I’ve heard plenty of times throughout the course of my reporting, and yet there still are many fun and creative programs that go way beyond “teaching to the test.” Over the next several weeks, I’ll be highlighting a few of them.
The first stories ran this weekend and have raised some interesting comments:
No Child Left Behind debate rages as law misses reauthorization goal.
Kids’ schoolwork dream come true?
And please let me know if your school has any programs that you feel go above and beyond the tests. Thanks.
