Testing, Testing, Is Anyone Listening?
I thought I'd bring a little comedy into the blog. If you have 22 minutes to watch this episode of The Simpsons, you'll find it funny, and sadly relevant. There are so many spot-on satirical comments regarding the ridiculous elements of testing that you will start to wonder why we ever decided that all of this testing is a good idea. As the principal will show you, learning happens in the oddest places and much of our intrinsic knowledge cannot be tested.
Hilarity as only the Simpsons can provide. (Well, IMO anyway!)
Very funny. Nice post.
