Abstract
ABSTRACT. This article addresses the problems associated with increased standardized testing, specifically in the context of the public school system in Ontario. I question the legitimacy of the persistent push for externally mandated comparative data on teaching by taking a holistic standpoint, one that treats teaching and assessing as inseparable parts of a complete process. I begin by situating the debate in the current Ontario context. Next I examine the ideological background to the current government support for standardized tests. In the third section, I discuss in detail the arguments against standardized testing. Finally I suggest non-comparative, qualitative alternatives that are more truly equitable. LE MOUVEMENT EN FAVEUR DES TESTS STANDARDISES: EQUITABLE OU EXCESSIF? RESUME. Cet article touche aux problemes relies a l'accroissement de l'usage des tests standardises dans le contexte particulier des ecoles publiques de l'Ontario. Je mets en question la legitimite de cette pression constante pour des donnees comparatives sur l'enseignement en adoptant un point de vue holistique, celui qui considere l'enseignement et l'evaluation comme des parties inseparables d'un tout. Je commence par situer le debat dans le contexte ontarien actuel. Ensuite, j'examine les fondements ideologiques de la position gouvernementale en faveur des tests standardises. Dans la troisieme partie, je presente en detailles arguments qui vont a l'encontre des tests standardises. Enfin, je suggere d'autres moyens d'evaluation non comparatifs et qualitatifs qui sont beaucoup plus equitables.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
