I tried once in a thread that ended amicably.

I must be somewhat amusing based on the attention, time, and effort dedicated to me by your fan base, including you

He used to be one of them. Until he let the Mizzou Obsession really take hold.

Someone alert the first lady. We've found the problem with our education system and it's... some guy on an Internet message board.

Hey, one good turn deserves another. You're obsessed with Mizzou, we'll take a couple minutes out of the day to think about you.

People who think tests are the point of education are in fact a major problem with education in the US
If you disagree, I'd be glad to hear your point of view

Yeah, after you graduate, you never have to prove your grasp of content in a quantitative fashion ever again.
Sure, there's plenty of people who hate tests. We call them "dumb."

Maybe we should just have Chicken sticky a Mizzou thread for Porker to masturbate to whenever his mom yells at him.

So you suggest the current system of tying funding to standardized test performance is working just fine and dandy?
Posted on 10/7/13 at 10:20 pm to Porker Face
Your argument is logically flawed. Just because one thinks test scores are an efficient way of comparing education outcomes does not mean one thinks the purpose of education is passing tests.

SPEAKING OF... I just got my ACT score back today... 29.
First time taking it (11th grade).

Wrong. Until we change how we think about performance the system will not change either.
People who run to test scores are reinforcing the singular importance of standardized tests. You are saying all other methods of quantifying school performance are bullshite and "just give me the test scores"

Also: they aren't. That's the point

Congrats, that's like the top 5% of test takers, right?

Is it perfect? No. But you have to have data and measures. Education isn't getting a kid to feel good about his performance or to "just learn at his own pace." It's learning stuff. Appropriate stuff for that kid's age. Grammar then rhetoric then logic. If you're not testing kids, how do you know what they've learned?
You haven't thought past the first 3 inches of this argument.

Something like that. And thanks
