on testing, etc.
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 12:10PM After grading the A.P. English exam for the second year, I'm more disgusted than ever on our test-obsessed school system. I've begun reading Nicholas Lemann's "The Big Test" about the history of the SAT and meritocracy in America. It's a fascinating subject and he's such an engrossing writer. Here's one early quote that applies particularly to Thrive: "A test of one narrow quality, the ability to perform well in school, stands firmly athwart the path to success. Those who don't have that ability will have much less chance than those who do to display their other talents later."
Help us help some of those otherly-talented peeps display said talents!
