Hi there, teachers. I am hoping you can help me make sense of something.
My son's school uses the Pira and Puma progress tests to monitor their progress and also determine prizes in subject areas. However, I notice that these tests are available for purchase online, including through Amazon and the dedicated Pira and Puma website.
My question; can it really be the case that parents can purchase these same tests? Doesn't that make a mockery of things? All a parent would need to do is purchase the tests and ensure their child is able to do it begore the child then goes on to do the same test formally at school.
If you use the Pira and Puma tests, how do you ensure the integrity of the tests given that parents can purchase them anyway.
