"In recent years, and without much public scrutiny, large-scale testing projects have become firmly established in Canada and around the world. These tests are now self-perpetuating industries. They divert large sums of public monies from resource-starved schools. Teachers and students are pressured to increase the school's test scores. Low ranking schools are publicly stigmatized. Does any of this improve learning? In this collection, researchers, teachers, parents and students speak out about the problems of and the growing opposition to standardized testing." - Back cover.
