It's my opinion that the best thing that can be said for standardized tests is that they're controversial -- and that's being real kind.

But hey, if a good percentage of students pass the tests, we're doing good -- whether or not they learn anything except how to pass the tests by rote and really don't gain any knowledge of the subject.

Right?
