Quote

All kids have to master material in order to continue to move forward in school and eventually out in the world. But our current system of standardized testing looks at only a limited number of skills, primarily math and English, and as a result, much in-class time is taken up preparing students for assessment on these two categories alone, cutting significantly into the class time needed to introduce other content and to develop critical thinking skills. It is primarily rote memorization that is tested and not the far more important and complex skills needed for difficult problem solving.
