Feb 15 2011: I agree with the idea. If testing is good for students, it will be good for schools. But I'm concerned with the idea.
Because the school under test system, will adapt itself to the test system.
As you can see among students, test can't do all jobs to ignite nor nurture possibility of students.
Clearly it has limitation and negative side effects. But personally I don't worry about.
I believe it will work for cold schools(low dynamic for better school) but not work for hot schools(too much dynamic)
