- yummyfajitas 15y agoTests are what hold people accountable for meeting the objectives, they don't define them. Why do you feel that not holding teachers accountable for meeting the objectives of their school system will improve education? I agree that some schools may have bad goals, but why do you believe teachers/admins have better ones?
