One thought on “Phil GiaQuinta: Tests are wrong way to judge schools, students, teachers

  1. That was the most concise, logical, and practical article on public education I have read in a very long time. Common sense is sorely lacking in the policies that dictate how our children are taught and our schools are run. But what else can we expect when politicians, who are not experts, are running the show. I fear it will only get worse in the future. Too much power in the hands of the few will create more problems than solutions for our state.
