Re: SRI--how to keep students serious?

[Deborah Stafford <Deborah_Stafford@COMPUSERVE.COM>]

One of my assistant principals has a statement he often uses about
standardized type tests.

"You can't fatten a pig by continually weighing it"

I think that sums it up -- certainly before taking the pig to market, or =
to
evaluate whether or not your feeding program is working you need to weigh=

the pig. But not continually. Perhaps testing for SRI three times a year =
is
too much?
