For all of us still trudging through public schools and those whose tax dollars fund our education...
Does standardized testing (SATs ACTs etc.) accurately measure a student's capacity, and, more importantly, should it be as integral to education as it is currently? |

^ and your high school diploma shows how you did that certain part of your life...??? that makes no sense.
it shows your capacity to answer the questions the average person at your age would know. i think they're very effective. |
