Re: A Controversial Subject

I think a much bigger problem is the trend toward only teaching subjects that are on the standardized tests, at the expense of everything else. The No Child Left Behind Act must bear a lot of the responsibility. It has been referred to by one poster here as "No School Left Standing".

In addition to the fine arts, shop, home economics, driver's education, and work-study programs have all been casualties of this drive to only teach what's on the test. Children should be exposed to as many different activities as possible. The time to specialize is at the Master's degree level.
