[quote=Anonymous][quote]When I was growing up, teachers kept their exams and answer keys under lock and key. You didn't see the exam until the day it was given. And if an upperclassman were to try and share the test he took the year prior, that was heavily frowned upon. They were always treated as proprietary information with consequences if they were improperly shared so that others could get an unfair advantage. This really[b] isn't that much different from how tests have been handled for decades.[/b] [/quote] Wouldn't it be nice if CC and associated testing really represented a change in education? Apparently it will be the same as it has been for decades even though we live in a completely different world. It's crazy to have these discrete tests in a world where opportunities are so broadened by this machine I am typing on. We need to find broader and more descriptive ways to measure people. And, if we must have these tests, at least don't make them HIGH STAKES![/quote]
