Standardized tests

dimanche 26 avril 2015 à 14:00

US standardized tests threaten both teachers and students with punishment if they talk after the test about what was in it.

Teachers are required to sign a commitment never to fail to enforce this cruel policy.

Lying to a tyrant is no wrong. These agreements are morally void, just like the End User License Agreement of a proprietary program. Teachers who can't refuse to sign are morally obligated to disobey.

Parents should tell their schools, "I don't want my child to be taught by people that sign such an agreement, unless they promise me they will not carry it out."
