Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written tests to evaluate students were a radical and controversial innovation when American educators began adopting them in the 1800s. Testing quickly became a key factor in the political battles during this period that gave birth to America's modern public school system. William J. Reese offers a richly detailed history of an educational revolution that has so far been only partially told. Single-classroom schools were the norm throughout the United States at the turn of the nineteenth century. Pupils demonstrated their knowledge by rote recitation of lessons and were often assessed according to criteria of behavior and discipline having little to do with academics. Convinced of the inadequacy of this system, the reformer Horace Mann and allies on the Boston School Committee crafted America's first major written exam and administered it as a surprise in local schools in 1845. The embarrassingly poor results became front-page news and led to the first serious consideration of tests as a useful pedagogic tool and objective measure of student achievement. A generation after Mann's experiment, testing had become widespread. Despite critics' ongoing claims that exams narrowed the curriculum, ruined children's health, and turned teachers into automatons, once tests took root in American schools their legitimacy was never seriously challenged. Testing Wars in the Public Schools puts contemporary battles over scholastic standards and benchmarks into perspective by showcasing the historic successes and limitations of the pencil-and-paper exam.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on a Pamphlet, Entitled Remarks on the Seventh Annual Report of the Hon. 1844: Horace Mann, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education The next pointbrought to view in the Remarks, is, the radical doctrines which have been broached by some of the friends of the Secretary. They have spoken against corporal punishment, prizes, emulation, and treating children with distrust. Their opinions are quoted, somewhat at length. Dr. Howe is quoted as saying of his own school: We have no corporal punish ments, no prizes, no taking precedence in classes, no degrada tions. Emulation there 1s, and will be, nature provides for this, in the self esteem of each individual. Iam reported to have said what I am very willing to repeat, and, while I repeat it, I appeal to the experience of persons in the world, as well as out, for its truth, There is no so ready way to produce falsehood in a child, as to doubt his word. I repeat it, and I believe it to apply to men, as well as to children. Show a man that you suspect him, and you tempt him to deceive you. Treat him with generous confidence, and you tempt him to generosity in return. Mr. Pierce is quoted as saying And here I would state, that my theory goes to the entire exclusion of the premium and emulation system, and of corporal punishment. On these opinions the gentlemen pronounce: It is hard to conceive of any thing more radical, and less conservative, than such views, when considered in connection with the administration of all the institutions of New England, during the last two centuries.world, without our adding to their strength, by constantly appealing to them in school. And I would ask these gentlemen whether they have not themselves frequently had, whether they do not still have, misgivings as to the effect upon the character of the flogging system, the emulation system, and the medal system? Their responsibility is now divided; school commit tees come in for a share.' But if they were singly responsible to God and to the future men and women whom their influence is contributing to form, would they not modify the course they now pursue, in some most important particulars?
