The B.C. government is continuing with its plan to have students write standardized tests this month, raising questions about how to balance the stress on children while also trying to assess the learning gaps caused by a disrupted year.
The province administers the annual test (called the Foundation Skills Assessment), which measures reading comprehension, writing and numeracy, to students in Grades 4 and 7. The teachers’ union is urging parents to withdraw their children from writing the test, which began last week.
But some, including the B.C. Teachers Federation (BCTF) and the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers Association (KTTA), think now is not the time for such tests. There was nothing normal about the last school year or the one we are currently in,” BCTF president Teri Mooring wrote in a statement to parents. “Teachers, students and families have been forced to constantly adjust to changing rules and conditions.” KTTA president Laurel Macpherson agreed. She called it very unfortunate how the data is used, pointing to rankings created by Lower Mainland think tank, the Fraser Institute. Each year, the organization rates each school in the province out of 10 and provides a ranking using publicly available data from the FSA tests.
