TESTING as seen by (me!) Sandra, tvgp
Sometimes my kids will moan.. 'Yuck.. Have a test today.'
I say with a smile, "you are always being tested. -but only sometimes youre told."
***
What inspired this post though is a recent conversation with my coworker friend who recently took a real estate exam..
The environment she spoke of reminded me of the environment I was in when I was taking the test which was mandatory to pass in order to attend San Jose states masters program
Similar to visiting a state prison.. (And yes I have; I know)
Everything you own goes in a locker.. You need 3 forms of ID and a thumb print and blood sample..
You may not even bring in your own pencil! They will supply..
You enter through security gates; there are guards..
The only windows are small, rectangular, and positioned so high up on the wall you'd need a ladder to see the outside world..
I could go on,
But my point is this: if at age 18 or older.. All of the candidate college students need to be treated like potential liar/cheater/criminals when taking a test for admittance
Then perhaps we need to take a long and closer look at what we are teaching, and what students are learning in Kindergarten - High school.
In Jesus name, -amen.
