I'm not sure what the point is of this thread (or why it was offered). We
have all written bad questions, and we can all nit-pick the questions of
others to death (often the modus operandi of this list). I wrote one
today,
but luckily had a 'none of the above' choice that I'll accept in addition
to
the answer I intended.
If not through testing, how are we to assess public (taxpayer provided)
education? The 'trust the teachers, they're professionals' might work for
the group on this list, but everyone here also knows of some other
teachers
who should not be trusted to 'do their thing', at least not if the welfare
of the students is to be a priority. So, I am waiting for the anti-test
folks to provide a reasonable and trustworthy alternative to standardized
testing. That any such test will have some 'questionable' questions is
unfortunate, but almost inevitable--at least someone will find something
questionable about almost any question used.
