As a mom, it has been nervewracking to shepherd twelve of my own children so far through the tests. As a professor, though, I know that standardized tests are necessary because of the huge discrepancy in various schools in the state. Not only that, but some high schools hand out As like candy because of parent pressure/fear of lawsuits. I can not begin to describe what it's like having students from these schools in college classes, particularly if they still think that a call from Mom will scare the professor into giving them an A.
