Re: Monday, May 19, 2003
Doc, I always found the tests themselves to be learning experiences. Let me repeat that for emphasis: I found tests themselves to be learning experiences. I know it's popular and trendy to rebel against everything and everyone associated with the word "public" or "government", but please know that some people actually do learn in school, even if they also learn at home and at other times and places. What I disagree with is the use of the test scores as an excuse to bash the schools. In our state (Virginia) the political discourse is heavily slanted against all public works, and the public schools are, naturally, a favorite target of the right wingers. But the schools have done marvelous work with my children, a testament not only to the individuals who worked directly with them, but also to the unfashionable administrators who support them. There are responses to this message:
