STANDARDIZED TESTS: YOU CAN'T TEACH A SNEETCH!

Psychometricians, educational psychologists, and the companies that publish standardized have convinced people that learning can be quantified and that the numbers generated on these standardized tests mean much more than they do. They promote the false idea that larger numbers mean more learning and more effective teaching, and lower numbers mean less learning and less effective teaching. Students are then sorted into high-numbered groups and low-numbered groups.
