Students achieve more. What is the impact of having this comprehensive dossier of information on the student that the readout of the balances this kid is a potential drop out. That is the kind of question where the law is so far away from what we are getting at and even in Public Opinion theres a lot of division about words that helpful when would we like our kids to be able to tear up their record when they graduate high school and what about nonpersonally identifiable as we talk about changing policies to reduce dropping out in general. So its very complex and totally fascinating and a little scary as well. It depends on where you are sitting. Extremely scary. Saves 25 years from now and you are on a book tour with the test, the sequel. What would you be talking about . Its a great question. I would love to be talking about how the next generation of assessments really open up our eyes to another persons capabilities and allow us to that each student would be graduating with the best
