Creating students who can only pass a test

I agree, I am also frustrated by the fact that children can perform poorly all year and "magically" meet on a standardized test and go on the the next grade level. We have children on both ends of the spectrum who suffer greatly. We are "leaving behind" many lifeling learners and creating students who only know how to "pass" the test. What a shame!
