I guess I could get to it and really explain how these huge corporate bureaucracies ruin kids lives by the millions by turning them into products and go detail by detail what it costs, who profits from it, how time consuming it is, how it funnels money away from low income schools, how it’s negatively impacted alternative learners and rebellious kids, the insane high stakes impact, the poorly worded questions, the favoritism toward the upper middle class and the rich, how the scores are manipulated, how corrupt it is, how it fails to measure anything honestly, how fun classrooms are decimated, students put in wrong classes due to faulty results, kids dying from cancer being forced to take it (yes), guidance closing for two months to administer the tests, jumps in teen suicide, and on and on but...
