Do you agree with student testing?

gmku · 09.18.2006, 02:45 PM

Mid-terms, final exams, theses, that kind of thing?

most students should be made to suffer. evil laugh.

when i say most students i am actually talking about the stereotypical english student.

no! testing is cruel and damages the self esteem of innocent little children.

humanity demands that we let anybody who wants to be a neurosurgeon practice without a license.

Nice flip answer from someone I am sure realizes that with standardized testing comes classes that teach to the test only, not to mention that sometimes test performance does not directly correlate with the actual comprehension level of the curriculum by each and every student.

down with the man! a scalpel in every hand, and a law degree in the other!

Damn I thought it was for fisting when I saw it, now I'm depressed.

!@#$%! · 09.18.2006, 03:22 PM

well it can be used in any way i guess. just cut and paste.

Savage Clone · 09.18.2006, 03:23 PM

What about writing?
Pretty difficult to test consistently.
Not like knowing "answers" to math/science, and inherently containing some level of subjectivity and discretion on the part of the testing review staff.

static-harmony · 09.18.2006, 03:24 PM

I think testing should be required, but not just one form of testing.

i don't see any point to them seeing as how they've lowered passing grades so much that it doesn't matter how well you do, therefore the amount of idiots passing the tests is unthinkable.

Well, you have to speak the language of the people you want to communicate with.

Plus, I was looking for a complementary graphic to your "power" fist, and that was as close as I could get.

That's true. In fact, in my school you only have to get 50% of the questions right to pass the graduation exam.

I see how tests might be bad in certain situation (like wrting or reading comphrension), but I don't see why they should be eliminated completely.
Educate me.
