As someone who does hiring for tech, the problem is things are metric driven. You can't extract metrics from letting teachers "teach their own way" without standardized tests, and if you don't have metrics, you don't know if "teaching their own way" is working in practice (you can extend this logic down to understand the rigid ciriculums).
By the way, I think this is all bullshit, but that's why
Oh yeah, I fully understand why the stupidity happens/happened. I don’t know how to fix it or if it can be fixed… that’s why I posted it here, in the unsolved problems in your field thread!
I watched two twelve-year-old children take a four-hour reading exam today. They ran out of time without finishing. Please can North Carolina to get their metrics some other way.
My current theory is that the state of NC so wants to say that public schools are failing that they are giving students near impossible exams.
