Scores without meaning
Perhaps I spent too long in school; along the way I determined that marks were secondary to learning. This was reinforced when I completed my own “teacher training”, because the whole science of testing was demystified. A test can be made to demonstrate whatever the tester (and testee) decide. What on earth, then, compelled the Island government to run “standardized tests” on their captive school population, and then release those results to the public earlier this week.
