[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that any exam which promotes pure rote learning is going to benefit the most studious kids. But I am not sure that the ability to regurgitate information demonstrates the most ability. I would prefer to see assessment that recognises creativity and original thinking too.[/quote] I love this. Anytime Asian kids do well on something, it must be pure rote learning. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-myth-of-american-meritocracy/ This article describes how Harvard et al use holistic admission criterion to keep the Asian percentage constant even though the Asian kids' winning increasingly all kids of science awards (rote learning too?) suggests that they are increasing their achievement by leaps and bounds.
