In my state they have something called the TAKS test. It is a big deal, 50 questions for 3 parts, and you have to write a 2 page composition to a quote. The only problem with that is teachers have to spend all of their teaching time, teaching how to pass the TAKS, not what might be the most important thing to learn. Teachers are so afraid they'll get in trouble if not enough of their students pass, they only concentrate on TAKS material. Do you think this is fair to the students?
