“Nickleby” is your Friend
The Seattle Post Intelligencer has this Associated Press article on the Maryland Assessment Test. It would seem that the head of the Maryland School for the Deaf is upset that in the reading comprehension portion of the test children are required to figure out which words sound alike.
Yep, we have to have standardized testing to show how well our schools are doing and the tests are prepared by experts to measure progress.
Is it really surprising that they have to pay people to praise this system?
