Hmmmmn. How do you measure ANYTHING without testing? Again, why do we keep score?

@vechorik read Lies My Teacher Told Me, and maybe you'll wake up from your stuper and antiintellectualism. Truth is, Christianity and the US have not always helped people; oftentimes corrupt churches, corrupt governments, corrupt people, have killed. Open up your eyes and realize that there is a reason so many liberals trashtalk the US. It isn't easy to criticize your own country; most people rarely have the courage to do it. Liberals only exist in a few nations. Treasure them

yes, public school can be improved, but one of the true highlights of school were the teachers. There were so many who cared, who were nice, who truly helped us.

This is one of the most inspiring and eurdite speeches I've heard from an artist. Two thumbs up to Matt Damon.

@JOMAMA341 I think history is an interesting example. When I was in elementary and high school, we were told to memorize the who, what, where, when, but never they why. The why was too difficult to measure on a scantron. Plus, the why requires you to actually understand the context and meaning of the history. Memorizing who Lincoln was, when was born, how he died, and what he did does not inherently explain why he is important.

"None of these qualities can be tested."? GLaDOS says we'll see about that.

@jmhooten I'm Harvard educated too and also public school educated. I guarantee that I am not rich and famous. If anything I am grateful to have been given a chance to try and do well. For most of my life, including being in the US Army, I tried to increase my knowledge and could not have done so without public education and public benefits. Now, my daughter is teaching, with a salary of half of what she could earn in industry, because as Matt Demon said, she loves to teach.
