Here is a different way of looking at the standardized tests that we force on our students year in and year out; what if adults took them. Valerie Strauss looks at the story on one adult, a school board member in Orange County, Florida, who tried and then speaks to him about it after word.
Mr. Roach, by all accounts a smart and successful individual, had some issues taking the test. Makes you wonder how we can create such pressure on students to pass these tests and why some people think that connecting these scores to teacher evaluations is the best and only way to rate a teacher's ability.
