They are all for accountability for "other" children. Well, you cannot and should not have it both ways. Either standardized testing is good, or it is not. Either all students who use government money should be tested or they should not. The more I teach, the more I realize that standardized testing (in MC format in a specific time period) is the most ridiculous way to assess a kid's knowledge or ability (there is no transparency, no one knows how they are scored, the tests are timed, they are freaking multiple choice, etc.); however, what's good for one group should good enough for the other.
