Measuring your Child's Knowledge / Standardized Testing
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 6:36 pm
Hi,
I am wanting to put up a web site to offer tests for mastery of state standards.
This test measures the amount of knowledge a child has gained at a certain grade level. I would make available a standards test for each grade level in each state.
Even though homeschoolers do not legally have to meet these standards in most states, it could be reassuring to know if your child is keeping up or zooming ahead with other children their age.
These assessment tests are only for private use by the parent, and are considered a tool to help the parent become the best educator possible.
The tests would be purchased from a large company and are very expensive--several thousand dollars. The homeschooler would be charged under $50 for an assessment.
Please help me decide if I should put up this web site by answering the poll question.
Thanks so much for your help.
Regards,
Penny
