standardized testing

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

I only ever remember taking one standardized test when I was in elementary
school.  Well, other than the PSAT and SAT and GRE, of course.

There is very little correlation between standardized test scores and
academic success, of course, which is probably why more and more
schools are steering away from them for admittance.

Sometimes these standardized tests are complete wastes of time, such as
Zuckerberg or Jobs or Gates, who just dropped out of school all together.
In fact, Peter Thiel thinks people should just not bother with college,

Kohn does talk about the concept of teaching to the test or teaching
how to take tests.
