[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 1011763, member: 54538"] KL, are you kidding? Do you not recall all the Bush/Republican-pushed "No Child Left Behind" craze, forcing schools to 'teach to the test' simply to maintian funding? (I actually prefer to call it "No Child Gets Ahead", as it forced schools to concentrate only on the low learners to make sure they don't "fall behind", without spending any effort/time/dollars on the best and brightest.) It's the right-leaning schools which tout things like how they rank in the state on standardized tests. It's the more left-leaning ones which decry those tests, touting their successes in so-called "soft skills", and how they feel many of those tests contain things like 'racial bias'. It's them who decry that, effectively, our students are fish, and they shouldn't be judged on tree-climbing tests. I understand your point about the College Board, but look at the standardized testing in the elementary and high schools--it's an entirely right-driven phenomena. [/QUOTE]
