Tag Archives: teaching to the test

My comments: Sadly, I’m not surprised, the destruction of American education has gone on now since the late 1800’s, but really took a nose dive in 1985, and 1988 when Ronald Reagan gave us the US/Soviet education agreements which eliminated academic teaching. What we now have is the Soviet Polytech form of dog training, and teaching to the test, which is Pavlovian/Skinnerian training. Today’s high school graduates cannot read, write, spell, do math, or articulate a proper sentence. Their ability to logic out a problem is non-existant. This is workforce training…little robots who will do what the government tells them to do.
