MAP testing, as it is explained to me - rather as it has forced down my throat, is that it has nothing to do with funding. Whether it's true, I don't know for sure.
It's suppost to be a test for accredidation. If the school does not show progress, the school may not be accredidited. It's the difference between a Harvard degree and one from buyyourdegreeonline.com

Only problem is you can't compare one class to a prevouis year's class. You can have a couple years of good kids followed by a couple years of retards - and you can lose your job because of it.
And of course you can't teach your subject and then take the MAP test - you have to teach the terminology and example questions of the MAP test. Spend 20 minutes a day telling students what the definition of assess, evaluate, etc instead of doing something productive.


And the president wants a test that you have to pass to pass high school. Come on, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Many colleges are government funded and you don't see them giving out senior exit tests.
I took a test in order to get a teaching licence based on all the social studies classes I took in college. I'm taking the test and thought "**** I never heard of this. A A B D haven't used C in a while - CCC"
