Totally agree with everything you said. I don’t think it fixes the core issues - and it could make teachers begin “teaching to the test.” At least they’re getting some learnings this year from being test-blind (even though my kid’s individual situation makes me personally opposed to test-blind this year), and probably understanding how to better calibrate their review processses without that additional data point. Of course, this year is even more unusual in that ECs, which could have been given more weight, went out the window due to COVID.
