Outside of the admissions context, when you have a ton of different schools in a city or a state or a country and you want to know what’s working and what isn’t and who’s learning and who isn’t you need to have some standardized tests so you can compare. — PolitiTweet.org

Standardized tests give us information about inequities that exist in our society and allow us to identify possible means of redressing them and to assess which ideas are working and which aren’t. Blindfolding ourselves and declaring victory would be a disaster. — PolitiTweet.org
