{"product_id":"2940157573263","title":"The Testing Backlash","description":"Parents, teachers, school administrators, citizens, and legislators from both sides of the political spectrum have seen an explosion of standardized testing in public schools. Their message has been clear and remarkably consistent despite the divergent sources of discontent: We have gone much too far in the amount of testing students endure in the United States in our public schools, and a re-evaluation of testing is long overdue.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2015, a backlash against testing grew and grew, culminating in zero students participating in testing in some schools, particularly in Boulder, Colorado. This book describes the reasons for the backlash and suggests some remedies to improve the way testing is used in public schools in the United States.\u003cbr\u003eDo schools in the United States have room for improvement? Of course. This book argues\u003cbr\u003ethat relying on standardized testing confuses the diagnosis for the cure.","brand":"Dog Ear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112578138352,"sku":"2940157573263","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157573263_p0.jpg?v=1764098501","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157573263","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
