Really? Does anyone think standardized tests are good? There are infinitely so many different amazing gifts that people have that cannot be measured by tests...but what else can we do? not test them? Hmm.....there's an idea. Sadly I think because of the need to manage large numbers of people in public schools, we end up not being able to teach kids by their natural interests and allow them to discover the amazing things in the world. I think curiosity is often a natural trait that gets "educated" out of people. I'm glad I still have my curiosity!
I know that I'm looking at the world through my rose-colored glasses but I like them that way!
