AS long as parents and teachers keep playing the game it will continue. Take away the players or the big red ball and the game will end.
What would happen if schools refused standardised testing? No legislature can close down every single school country wide if they refuse to do testing and stick to these "requirements". Surely in your consitution (as it is in the WHO "rights of a child") is a clause about a child's right to an education?
Therefore they cannot shut down all the schools. All it takes is one district to decide to stand against the tide. And then the next one and the next one etc.
Look, I do believe it's a universal issue - I have made many many observations and comments about our local education system here in South Africa.
As even my 7 year old figured about standing by while "bad" things happen, "you have to do something different to get a new result"
