Gerald Bracey on Standardized Tests

This article is very interesting.

"There is only one misperception, really," Bracey said, "and that is that standardized tests are scientific and objective and are adequate instruments to evaluate children, teachers, schools, districts, states and nations."

The companies who create and grade the tests would disagree. I wonder if the multi-billion dollar market created by NCLB has anything to do with their stance?
