Computerized testing, including the widely used MAP test, has infiltrated the public schools in Milwaukee and across the nation, bringing with it a frightening future for public education. High-stakes standardized tests can be scored almost immediately via the internet, and testing companies can now easily link districts to their online data warehouses, which allows districts to quickly access test scores (which would be good if the tests were generating usable data). This system provides momentum to those who believe more tests should be given to "track progress" throughout the year. In the author's district this means that every classroom teacher tests students at the beginning, middle, and end of the year, administering four tests in math and reading each time. Limited funding and fewer staff in the district, as in most urban public schools, creates even more of a problem because there are not enough adults to serve as proctors. Setting up these tests is a tedious, time-consuming job involving a web of long, nonsensical passwords and codes. Teachers are being mandated to use many hours of valuable instructional time and limited teacher planning time to complete these tasks. In schools that do not have a computer lab, teachers have only a few computers in their classrooms. First graders, three at a time, use classroom computers to take standardized tests. In this article, the author explains the impact on the students and teachers.
