It's educating them in the wrong things. For example, goal of class: better thinker by learning to do multiplication. Because of test, they only learned memorizing multiplication tables.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoThe tests ask for multiplying 3 digit numbers. That's a lot of memorizing.
- octo_t 12y agothat was a simple example. A better example might be memorizing quotes from a book to regurgitate in the test* * (I had to do this as part of GCSE English in the UK - I expect a similar situation in the US)
- yummyfajitas 12y agoWhy don't you look at the real tests and see if such tricks are possible?
