I have no idea wtf they're talking about. Standardized testing has always been a scam to sell more standardized testing. Idk or care if it accurately measures anything, that's never mattered. It's only ever been used to tear chunks out of public school funding so private firms can feast, and to re-implement segregation by starving "under performing" (minority) schools of resources. Literally no living human being except this nerd actually cares of standardized testing actually measures what it claims to measure.

The old “the purpose of a system is what it does”
In a socialist society, standardized testing could be useful, but as it is its purpose Is to segregate schools and steal money from children’s education.

But you see, you can tell it's a great idea because of how much american education has improved in the last few decades!
I also love to bring this point up when talking about antidepressants.
