Test scores test a students ability to memorize facts, but fail to evaluate a students ability to reason, strategize etc. I call BS to the whole educational mess. ALL students do any more is practice for tests, so school districts can collect more federal funds. Learning??? NOT!!!

You dont know what you are talking about. Do you have kids? Have you seen the tests? Here is some sample questions from the 4th grade test.

Where is the memorization these tests? I see questions that require both reasoning and strategizing.

What’s your definition of learning? When I went to school, there were no API testing, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have to memorize to pass the tests. Be it midterms, finals, AP test, periodic tests throughout the semesters. How do you expect to pass school w/out memorization? Memorization alone won’t get you that A. You have to know how to apply what you memorize. It’s not like these tests stay the same every year.
