Test scores measure a moment. They do not measure a child's worth - or a teacher's | Opinion

When Kentucky’s state test scores are released, the numbers quickly become the headline. I saw the first article seconds after midnight. Schools are compared. Districts are ranked. Successes are celebrated, shortcomings criticized, and conclusions drawn about the quality of education being delivered. But before we reduce an entire school year to a collection of numbers, we should ask ourselves a question: What, exactly, are we measuring?

It cannot fully measure the student with autism who has learned to regulate their emotions well enough to remain in class, the struggling reader with dyslexia who finally
