[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just standardizing and computerizing everything aren't we.  Teachers even.  We ain't gauging their character or commitment or their connection, things that are arguably integral to being an educator, but we focusing on diction (Ebonics) and petty percentage points on tests.  Shit that doesn't discern whether or not someone is willing to make the true commitment to being an educator and all that it entails or whether they just wanna collect a paycheck and have a previous place of employment to pride themselves on before they get the job they really want.
Data taking over.
Won't be long before "virtual teachers" are dominant in classrooms.

Actually, the test is likely being used to avoid discrimination.  It makes everything more "objective"--that is, it take the decision out of the interviewer's hands.  It may not work, but it takes the responsibility away from personalities.  In other words, it is a cop-out.[/quote]
