Students Weigh In On Improving Education - Courant.com: "Students repeatedly took aim at standardized testing.
Roger Jeannotte, who participated Tuesday in a Connecticut Youth Forum at Lyman Memorial High School in Lebanon where he is a student, said there should be a "lesser weight on the value of standardized tests."
Jeannotte said the Connecticut Academic Performance Test is "awful. It doesn't show your intelligence. It's not very difficult. It's not very rigorous. I don't see how a test like that could really identify how well students are learning [or] how well teachers are teaching."
Jeannotte, whose mother is a teacher, said he objects to tying a teacher's evaluation to students' test scores.
"I don't think it's my teacher's fault if I want to blow off my CAPT," he said."
