My students took their mid-year SRI today. It is a reading "inventory" created and administered by Scholastic, one of the top companies profiting from education accountability and big data. Hardly surprising, they also have a math assessment which is called the SMI.
All these acronyms can be confusing to the students as they try to navigate to the right online test to take, but my kids? Are super-cooperative and always helpful to each other.
"Isn't the SRI for math?" someone called out today.
"Nope," his charitable classmate corrected him, "that would be MRI. You don't need the MRI."
True.
