I agree that it's useful to expose children to literature and art, but it feels like there's no way to objectively test it... Maybe creative writing/literature

I agree that it's useful to expose children to literature and art, but it feels like there's no way to objectively test it... Maybe creative writing/literature courses should give marks for the most upvotes on Reddit (kidding, but probably more objective than current methods).

An essay in which the student has to present an argument would do finely. You ask "is this a reasonable interpretation, and does the student defend this interpretation in a logical way using the available evidence?" Not perfectly objective, but doable. Unfortunately, that's much more expensive than a multiple choice test.
