问题     No matter what you think about testing rends, one thing is clear: as long as there is teaching and learning, there will be testing. But how much credit do those charts and numbers deserve?
    When you review a school’s test scores at a school board meeting, always look beyond the basic numbers. The scores for a single school in a single year have limited value for judging school performance. Equally important is "trend data" — test scores from several years that show you how a school’s performance has changed over time. Additionally, comparing a school to other schools with similar demographics may give your perspective on where the school stands relative to other schools like it. You can also learn a lot from data that is broken down by ethnic group and socioeconomic level. A school is only truly successful when it achieves high performance with students across all ethnic and social groups.
    On the other hand, the next time you hear somebody say, "That school is the best in the district because it has the highest test scores," make a point to respond: "I’d love to know more about what’s happening at the school that accounts for those scores, but I can’t assume that it’s the best school just based on one piece of evidence. What you know about the school’s teaching methods, the leadership of the principal, or its climate of safety?" Take time to investigate these other measures of school quality before making judgments about a school.
    To communicate with your child certainly is the final way. Raise your hand if you’ve heard some stories about students begging to stay home on test day. Is this level of anxiety appropriate? The correct answer is no! When your child’s class is preparing for its annual standardized testing marathon, let your child know that while you hope she does her best on the test, it’s not a competition. Explain that the results may help her and her teacher understand the areas where she might be especially strong or where she may need to focus more. [br] According to the author, when we evaluate the quality of a school, the following factors should be involved EXCEPT______.
选项 A、teaching methods
B、leadership of the principal
C、relationship with other schools
D、safety
答案 C
解析 细节判断题。根据题干关键词evaluate the quality of a school定位到原文第三段尾句。在前一句提到了teaching methods，the leadership of the principal，or its climate of safety，只有选项C没有提及。故答案为C。
