The test and the ordsprog

en The test and the use of man's education is that he finds pleasure in the exercise of his mind
  Jacques Barzun

en There is only one Education, and it has only one goal: the freedom of the mind. Anything that needs an adjective, be it civics education, or socialist education, or Christian education, or whatever-you-like education, is not education, and it has some different goal. The very existence of modified educations is testimony to the fact that their proponents cannot bring about what they want in a mind that is free. An education that cannot do its work in a free mind, and so must teach by homily and precept in the service of these feelings and attitudes and beliefs rather than those, is pure and unmistakable tyranny.

  Samuel Johnson

en We saw in Hurricane Katrina that they had just (ended) a year and a half of focused planning on dealing with that exact scenario, and they fell on their face. So just to say you have a plan on the shelf or a plan in place is not the final answer. You've got to exercise it. And if you don't exercise it and work the bugs out, Mother Nature is going to exercise it for you. And that's definitely not where you want to test your plan.

en A lot of us have applauded the secretary of education and the White House science adviser for pushing higher-quality experimental designs in education, so now we can test school reforms in the same way we test drugs or food additives.

en We are not concerned about the viability of the test - the test is quite reliable, ... What we have to follow is whether there are exercise-induced circumstances that might occur.

en Some parents don't understand the importance of the test until late in the year. I wanted to get an overview of what the exercise should be for the test. If you don't pass, you don't get promoted.

en Conversation is an exercise of the mind; gossip is merely an exercise of the tongue.
  Laurence Sterne

en In classrooms serving low-income and minority kids, it turns into teaching the test. The test becomes the curriculum. Because of concerns that those kids are not going to pass, education becomes narrowed to the content of the test.

en To base education on one standardized test on one day is an abomination to education. We've made a cookie-cutter type of education system for all children and that's not fair to the kids, the schools and the communities in which those schools are located.
