Kids dont learn shit by studying for tests either, they forget it immediately after testing I mostly agree, but we don't have "common core" in Alberta. Kids need to learn how to learn in school. Ultimately I don't give a shit if they know how to algebraically determine the roots of a quartic function. I want them to know what they need to do to tackle problems they've never faced before. Asking Alexa or Google is an honest strategy for many problems in life. I didn't know how to fix a toilet that constantly ran, Google provided that knowledge. But Google won't help you in every situation, nor should it. Back to testing, the biggest evaluative threat to teachers like myself are diploma exams at the end of 12th grade subjects. I think in the US the equivalent are called SATs? They seemed to be designed by statisticians, not educators, as the very wording and layout of them baffles me. Yet I more or less have to teach to get results on them. Because of the strange layout, and how extremely dense the Math curriculum is, the most efficient way to teach is to match the quirky layout of the exam. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- ...
