Standardized testing has become the arbiter of social mobility, yet there is more regulation of the food we feed our pets that of the tests we give our kids
The testing explosion often creates overlaps between tests mandated at the district level, the state level and the federal level,
The larger issue here is that the nation has put its trust in an unaccountable testing industry. It's yet another one of those cases in which the testing industry's screw-up could significantly harm people's education and their lives.
The truth is that there is stronger public oversight and control over the food we feed our pets than for the tests administered to our children. We simply cannot trust the testing industry to oversee itself.
