"i hate this week..." or "Why Tests Suck"

[wolven7]

Remember my rant, yesterday, or whenever, about how the school system sucks amd stuff? Well this is a bit of a continuation: Test are Stupid! YAY! They make sure that you can spit things bacout, but very rarely do they ever gague if you've grasped the material. They are all "Tell me who said 'Blah.' 2 pts." Does that tell you anything about what i know about the subject"?? Does that tell you, AT ALL, that6 i can think for myself, instead of helping the teacher masturbate his/herself? No.

i have two more tests, this week, and they're all By-Rote, Who-Said, Tell-Me-What-I-Told-You, Regurgitation Amplificational Aids. They, none of them, test whether you've Thought about the material, and come to your own conclusions.

i hate RAA's. But it's ok... i can simply Remove testing from my learning experienece. The tests are Teacher/Material/School Board Ego Masturbation Tyme. That is not where i learn. It's where, for now, i have to appease them, if i want to continue my education. But soon, oh yes, SOON the world will know the TRUE meaning of Education, and Knowledge....

[(Anonymous)]

I know the exact feeling. I don't understand why we have to be teasted on the material that they feed to us especially when we are not at all that interested in it. My next exam is litt. I have to spit out the info form verious stories we read. I didn't finish most of them mainly becasue I am a slow reader and I don't like the subject matter. Also he has give us quizzes on every story and I have done badly on them because of the same reasons. I hate tests and I don'tdo well in them mostly.
The only test I ahve taken thus far that asked me for my opinion was in my teaching class. Ya I hate that class and i hate the teacher but we actually had a section on the teast where we could say agree or disagree. Wowo what a concept. But I think that teacher really has no idea what she is doing and dosen't care and tries to scare you about every damn thing. I don't know I just want to finish this crap and work in something I enjoy.
Talk to you all later amd read my Dead Journal those who have my page
lots of love
