[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge cultural chasm here. America does not have the same testing traditions you find in just about every other country in the world. Americans believe in never quitting more than they believe in winning. That's why footbalk teams that lose hard fought games get celebrated almost as though they won.[/quote]

The difference is every other country in the world has clear rule and transparency.

Another difference is that America rewards persistence. Many other countries give you just one chance to measure up in life. Not so in the USA.

Test measures persistence.  It's for 12 years of persistent education
Also they do reward persistence with sort of GPA together with Test

I don't care if you do GPA only Test only GPA + Test, GPA + Test + whatever.

The important thing is clear rule and transparency.

This is gibberish…please, figure out how to write clearly and then try again.  Maybe load it into chatgpt and have it produce something intelligible.[/quote]

Why you don't like clear rule and transparency?[/quote]

I like clear rules and transparency…to what you are referring, I have no idea.[/quote]

Ok good.

This conversation is going nowhere…much like your post.  I may very well agree with you, but you posted something nonsensical. [/quote]

It's ok if you didn't understand something.  I'm sure there are others who understood it.
Important point was you agreed that clear rule and  transparency is important.  
Current US system significantly lacks those.

[/quote]

DP. Nope. I agree w/ your critic(s). It was pretty nonsensical. it didn't make sense content-wise as there are vague aspects, and the grammar issues interfered with any intended communication. [/quote]
