Abstract	For more than a decade, the debate over high-stakes testing has dominated the field of education. In this... book [the authors] document the ways that high-stakes testing threatens the purposes and ideals of American education. Their analysis is grounded in the application of Campbell's law, which posits that the greater the social consequences associated with a quantitative indicator (such as test scores), the more likely it is that the indicator itself will become corrupted - and that its use will corrupt the social process it was intended to monitor. [The authors] show how the pressure of high-stakes testing erode the validity of test scores and distort the integrity of the education system. Their analysis provides a comprehensive intellectual framework for arguments against high stakes testing, while putting a compelling human face on the data marshaled in support of those arguments.
