MCAS Testing In The Massachusetts School System: Problems
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The Massachusetts' educational system has long struggled with the challenge of scholastically reaching each and every student. However, the decision to employ the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System as a means by which to academically evaluate the student population has come under a great deal of criticism for its broad-brush application. At the core of the debate of whether or not MCAS testing is equitable for all students is the fact that it has proven to be significantly prejudice in its application, with at-risk, minority and otherwise academically disabled students experiencing the severest consequences. In some levels, students can not advance to the next grade level without passing the exam. From the outset, this particular student population faces considerably more challenges than their counterparts, in that they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of understanding. It has been noted how in decades gone by, teachers were under no obligation to accept a student who brought unusual challenges. MCAS testing has demonstrated that this perspective has not been abandoned for a more realistic approach to educating the masses. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
