I heard something interesting today....that is....other countries with so called "higher test scores" usually test LESS of their student population....ie. they test the top part of the population. The rest get farmed out to other less challenging curriculum/schools.
WE here in the US test EVERYONE, pretty much.
Anyone here know anything about this?
Yes, that is true.
We in America do not want a society in which a test you took when you were 12 sorts you into the "gifted" who will be tracked for college and the dummies.
