What You Should
1
The tests are one way to
nuke schools accountable
to parents and to guaran
tee that your child grad
uates with a minimal level
of knowledge. But the teats
can also present problems.
For example, a higher pro
portion of Black than white
children are faille the
exams. One explanation
suggested by some critics
is that children from less
wealthy school districts
with fewer resources may
not be able to perform well
on a statewide test
If your school system
uses s minimum compe
tency test find out about it
and wateh for these thiqp:
Your school should -toot
deny a child a rtptnhu or
promotion to the next
grade solely an the basis of
the test if all ether re
quirments have bean met.
Students show their com
petence in many ways. The
test should not weigh more
than the rest of your
child’s performance in
school. It could hurt your
' child If bear ah. lan't wry.
