Am i the only one who believes that the educational prison is teaching to the state tests?

southpaw1416 asked:


Are our schools teaching to the standard tests that the states have us take? I mean instead of learning of the past wars and treaties signed in history class, we have to take math tests… Anyone else see the problem developing? In Chicago, there was a school that took away all of their extra curriculars , so there students could focus on the basics: math, science, and english. Are we creating robots? Test take away the most important things that we need in real life: creativity, imagination, and the ability to communicate..filling in circles? what does that prove? input please.

The way i see it, it looks as if the schools who qualify for state money already have enough to use to get better books and better teachers. So what happens to the schools that are can’t afford better books or teachers? the state takes away their funding. How is that going to help them keep kids in school, and give them education?imput please.
