Treating learning as a process of moving information into children’s minds and then checking it’s quality via tests is an old, inefficient and misaligned with what we know about learning. It is a broken approach which makes sense in the context of training factory workers while providing childcare for their worker parents. Works so-so for the bean counters at the tremendous cost of crushing ebmveryone else. It is abysmal in the face of the pace at which the workforce moves and doesn’t even come close to what today’s kids actually need. Tests are just one of the symptoms.
