Teaching to the test is a waste of time. No real and lasting learning takes place.
In high school we had what was called the English V test. It was all grammar. We were taught the grammar to pass the test…not taught the test. Very few failed.
What if all of learning was geared to one task? What a waste. In my software development I have ended up learning a lot about excel … WOW relational learning as well. The government needs to get out of the classroom, too bad the teachers are hamstringed by a system that does not let them really practice their craft.
