Yeah I mean why would you want to figure out how much information the children are retaining or which methods of teaching produce better results? Glad I don't need that damn geometry to figure angles for tile to be cut or stair stringers or anything.
LOL, some tests are okay. Excessive tests are overkill. Pointless overkill. Wrong, actually. Leonardo Da Vinci didn't do bubble tests back in the day. He was this artist engineer. No unrealistic tests. I mean, if you're going to take a freaking test, let the exam be something relevant, right? Like, with geometry? Build something as a project. That's better than a purely abstract mind exercise to pick the right answer, no? I mean, if you're going to learn something, it should relate to the real world.
If you feel strongly about it, become a school administrator. Tests are needed for funding purposes and as a way to evaluate a school's success. There are many problems with the method , i will agree, but you didn't give any examples as to what you think is too many. Is it
A. Between 0 and 5
B. Between 6 and 10
C. Between 11 and 15
D. More than 16
Alternative response prepare a summary, less than 500 characters, as to what constitutes too many tests for your age and educational level.
Bonus: Please be subject specific and discuss why the difference, if any.
Leonardo wasn't ever formally educated in the first place. I think his genius is more common than we realize. Kids get stifled by these prole schools that aim to create conventional droids. Your answer is foretelling irony. It is chock full of what is a trained response. Like, you used standard multiple choice. Following that? Why less than 500 characters? I take you are mocking the entire system too. It is a system. I prefer the Waldorf and Montessori schools. That's where the tech crowd sends their kids. They aren't aiming their children to aspire to middle management one day (follows formula). They want their kids to launch whatever spells a collaborative doom for Google, or strikes a mutually beneficial partnership. Much of the testing in schools? It is pathetically irrelevant to life beyond school. As a final point, I did not claim that there should be no tests. Excessive tests are the issue. A lot of schools are seriously structuring everything they do around tests. So, you end up with a well trained test taker.
I believe that kids are tested too much in school. It wastes time.

DaVinci wasn't exactly your average brain.
