[QUOTE="donner, post: 3238631, member: 277"] i'll have to look into it more, but i was going to say something more along the lines of 'teaching to the test' has harmed us. No child left behind and other testing-based models are creating a generation of people who cannot think for themselves. I heard professors and college coaches talking about it all the time. Kids are coming in expecting to be told the answers and tested on them (and coaches are saying kids don't know how to fail). They don't like being asked to *think* (compare, contrast, etc) topics that have no correct answer. i'll think about it more and see if i can't find the amount that states like MS are spending on testing contracts (it's stupidly high, ridiculously poorly administered and often only 'helps' the politicians who pass the legislation for the contracts) [/QUOTE]
