[quote=Anonymous]ITA. I really miss the days when kids had time to read and think and wonder. And as a prof, I’ve seen so many students whose aspiration seems to be to make sure they are “not wrong.” Which often leads to very trite or superficial reasoning. The standardized testing industry’s dominance (along with the low status of teaching as a profession) has really gutted K-12 education in the US. I’m all for hard work, but I’d like to see us encourage our kids to focus their effort on things that are more intellectually rewarding and that make them better thinkers, problem-solvers, or interpreters. The shelf life of multiple choice test taking as a useful skill is pretty shortlived![/quote]
