FairTest has also shown that states with less testing and lower stakes
also tend to make better progress on NAEP than state with more testing
and higher stakes. Monty Neill

I wonder whether this is because they don't test, or because their
population is such that they haven't felt the "crises" (real or imagined).
Iowa (the example I know about) I believe still does test the students - and
the test scores come out fairly well so that I wonder if they just haven't
felt the need to attach high stakes to the tests. MOre simply - is this
causation or correlation?
