9. Why the disdain for tests?

Edited on Thu Sep-16-10 12:00 AM by Rage for Order

Certainly some tests are subjective, but a student demonstrates proficiency in algebra, calculus, statistics, trigonometry, chemistry, physics, or numerous other math and science courses by doing well on tests in the subject matter. Sorry, but a kid who scores a 50 out of 100 on an algebra test has failed, and no amount of self-esteem building exercises will bring that score up to a passing grade.
