I think standardized testing is not a good way to measure if someone has achieved the learning objective of a lesson. I'm hardly the only one to think this way. It's great for testing how good someone is at rote memorization of facts for a single test for topics that are never brought up again so immediately forgotten. If you do it in person with pens and paper the kiddos can just read their neighbors shit, or sneak in a cheat sheet. Did this not happen in every single class you've ever taken from K-12 and then 4 years in a uni? Did for me!!!!! I promise. I never needed to cheat, but there was always someone within eyeshot doing it. I'm not a snitch.
Lack of motivation, lack of a million dollar loan from mommy and daddy. You can't teach motivation really. My upbringing was free room and board until I was 18.
Already there man... 300k in 401ks, 350k in non-retirement fund investments, 500k townhouse with 50k mortgage left on it as a rental. 600k condo too.
