Multiple Choice quizzes or test.

I believe that giving multiple choice quizzes or test to children is a good thing. It can help build the children self-esteem. Working in a school and watching some of the students struggle during an exam is hard. It's not that they don't know the information it's because they get nervous and forget what they want to say or how to answer the essay questions. I don't think having children memorize information is always a good thing because as soon as they are done with that topic many children tend to forget but if we teach it to them and than test them by giving a test shows us how much they know. Many times have the answer in front of you helps you remember. If we force children to try to remember to much information than they will fail on many exam. I know that this may not work for all subjects but for the moist part it will be better and will help kids self-esteem stay high.
Even as adults know the answer but can't figure out exactly what we want to say or write until we see it in front of us because the smallest word and trigger us to remember.
So for me multiple choice testing will be a form of testing that I will use when I have my own classroom.
