    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.

    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.

      I also love to bring this point up when talking about antidepressants.
