After reading your article, “The CSAP is Dead. Long Live (err, TCAP)” I too began to think about how them changing CSAP to TCAP could reflect a students character traits. Ever since I began taking CSAP I usually dread that week because it is non stop testing and I don’t get the point. If I have to sit a whole week and take tests to reflect my learning, why cant my teachers just give me a simple test instead of a week long test. I also believe that CSAP is not a test to reflect our learning, but instead a test to judge how teachers have been teaching to the specific students they have. I agree that taking these types of tests do not reflect my learning at all and if they really reflect any students learning at all. From personal experience I know that every kid hates CSAP and wants to get it over with and that the questions on the test are exactly the same as the ones our teachers give us in our individual classes. I personally forgot all about CSAP the day it was over because no one really cares for it and I don’t think they are taking a test that reflects their own learning styles.
