Replacing the TAKS

The problem I have with this article is the author on one hand dismisses the idea of a standardized test, but on the other hand discusses the problems Texas education faces using the standardized SAT results as his evidence. I do not believe that TAKS is the answer. I also believe that some students would benefit from a work program as opposed to preparation for college (some students will not and should not go). The problem lies in finding a suitable assessment tool that does not cause teachers to "teach to the test".
