Assessments like these are controversial. Many parents don?t like the idea of their already over-tested children taking even more exams, particularly in subjects like art and gym, which are usually thought of as relaxing breaks in an otherwise stressful school day. Bob Schaeffer of FairTest, a watchdog group, calls state standardized assessment in the arts ?fundamentally ludicrous. Testing knowledge of terms used in artistic disciplines, as some have suggested, is not assessing the arts, but rather how well students memorize and regurgitate specialized language.? American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten often advocates for holistic assessment systems, such as portfolios of students? work collected over the course of an entire semester or year, instead of a drawing or musical performance done in a single sitting. Paraphrasing the (perhaps apocryphal) Albert Einstein, Weingarten likes to say, "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
