I am relieved that, in my own teaching, i don't have to moderate between high stake teaching and education for the virtues. if i did, i would give students the tools to take the tests but not spend an inordinate amount of time on test prep nor on 'teaching to the test.' if the students, or their parents, want drill in testing, they'd have to go elsewhere. as a professional, my most important obligation is to teach the topic, skills, and methods in ways that i feel are intellectually legitimate.
