education

A short note, kept as it was posted.

Grades, standardized tests, interviews etc etc. So much of education is really testucation. I was fortunate in having a knack for taking tests well when I wanted to, but I really hate them. I can’t imagine that tests evaluate anything important to employers, let alone to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Surely, learning is more important than testing?
