reading testing elementary standardized

shared by Chris Harrow on 22 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • By asking young students to spend time taking tests like this we are doing them a double disservice: first, by inflicting on them such mediocre literature, and second, by training them to read not for pleasure but to discover a predetermined answer to a (let’s not mince words) stupid question.
  • Literary texts, whether by A.A. Milne or Leo Tolstoy, always admit multiple interpretations — and the greater the work, the more robust the tension among these readings, and the graver the loss in trying to reduce the work to a single idea.

    While focused on teaching reading to elementary students, the points raised here apply also to mathematics teaching ... reducing everything to a single way and a single answer is stifling, minimizing, and counterproductive.
