"How profound. How exactly does that differ from current exams!? K-12 students don't have once-in-a-lifetime exams - they have less monumental tests that already take the focus away from what school is for - learning - not assessing"
Many schools today have eliminated all tests for younger children. Think about this. No tests at all, IMO, cannot be a good thing.
- aik 16y agoIn some cases I agree that eliminating all tests is bad, especially if nothing else changes. It's especially bad when tests are eliminated without teachers changing their style. If you're going to change one you have to change the other. Children do need to be assessed and challenged. Sitting a child down with a pencil and paper is not the only method of assessing a child, and most definitely not the most effective.
