Joe Biden Says He’ll End Standardized Testing In Public Schools After Questioner Calls Them ‘Rooted In A History Of Racism’
Daily Caller ^ | December 14, 2019 | PETER HASSON

Posted on 12/14/2019 8:43:10 PM PST by conservative98

Former Vice President Joe Biden committed Saturday to ending the use of standardized testing in public schools if he’s elected president in 2020.

Biden made the commitment after a questioner at MSNBC’s Public Education Forum 2020 said standardized testing is “rooted in a history of racism and eugenics” and urged him to oppose their use in public schools.

“Teaching has changed drastically over the last 10 to 20 years. Instead of being allowed to use their expertise to develop engaging curricula that’s culturally responsive, teachers are often forced to use a scripted curriculum that rushes children through without giving them enough time to really understand the material,” the questioner said.

She added: “Given that standardized testing is rooted in a history of racism and eugenics, if you are elected president, will you commit to ending the use of standardizing testing in public schools?”

“Yes,” Biden answered. “As one of my friends and black pastors I’ve spent a lot of time with, Rev. Herring, would say: You’re preaching to the choir, kid. OK?”

THIS kind of crap is one reason black kids fail in school.

Test reflect what a kid has learned. If they fail the test it means they have to study more... that’s NOT racist.

Biden will not be president so he can’t keep this promise and is doomed to remain in 3rd grade forever.

Joe doesn’t want to test the roaches then?

How will he know if the roaches are smart enough to play with is leg hair?

A good test can also measure reasoning ability. Lower scoring here is not racist, just a reflection of reality. Matching education to abilities is a good idea.
