As a result of this, memorization is also what does well on standardized testing, and guess what’s prioritized above all else in the modern US school system? Test scores. Little else matters to schools so long as students are getting good enough test scores.
This isn’t very conducive to quality education, unfortunately.
- ghaff 3y agoI'm not sure there's a great answer. The situation before school systems were forced to quantify performance as much wasn't perfect either. And there's a lot to suggest that standardized testing for college admissions improves equity rather than the other way around.
